A day after developers at America Online"s Nullsoft unit quietly released file-sharing software, AOL pulled the link to the product from the subsidiary"s Web site.
The software, called Waste, lets groups set up private, secure file-sharing networks. The product became available on Nullsoft"s Web site on Wednesday, just days shy of the four-year anniversary of being acquired by AOL. Waste is a software application that combines peer-to-peer file sharing with instant messaging, chat and file searches. Users can set up their own network of friends and share files between each other.
