RShare is an anonymising peer-to-peer file sharing system. It offers resistance to the analysis of who downloads or shares files, with strong encryption to resist traffic sniffing. The client is no longer developed or maintained, but the client's source base was used to create the StealthNet client for the RShare network protocol, which is still developed.
