FileTopia is a free, Windows-based client and networking tool allowing users to organize files, text and voice recordings, chat, and instant messages. All communication is encrypted, using ciphers such as AES, Blowfish, and Idea. To protect the users identity, they are able to use a "bouncer", which is essentially a proxy, to keep their IP hidden from the internet. Filetopia also features message boards and buddy lists. Users can share globally, or in specific channels/chat rooms, or in "Trade Mode". It is not a centralized system, users must connect to multiple servers in order to find each other, but file transfers, etc. are conducted on a peer-to-peer basis.
FileTopia development has been halted for the last six years. Originally, the developer was busy creating the TorrentOpia software in the boom of the BitTorrent era - but with promises of future versions "in the coming months" since 2003-2004 within popular FileTopia chatrooms, it has been assumed that a new version of the software is unlikely. However, even with the ageing current FileTopia version (3.04), there is still a small, but vibrant community of people sharing a wealth of data.
