Why use RetroShare:
- You want to chat and share files securely with your friends
- Only your friends will be able to see and download files that you share.
- RetroShare is serverless, which means - unlike other messengers, you don't need to register, complete annoying registration forms and receive tons of ads. Sending a key to your friend by e-mail is enough to set up your own IM network. This also means no IM spam, because people you didn't invite absolutely cannot connect.
- You can also use your favorite nick name either: no need to use cryptic names like "john.smith148@something.com" just because someone (whom you don't even know) snapped your favorite nick before you.
- RetroShare is encrypted, meaning high privacy: nobody, including your ISP, can see what files you're sharing.
