• P-Grid is a truly decentralized structured P2P system which does not require central coordination or knowledge. It is based purely on randomized algorithms and local interactions and targeted at environments with low online probabilities of peers. P-Grid differs from other approaches such as Chord, CAN, Pastry, etc. in terms of practical applicability (especially in respect to dynamic network environments), algorithmic foundations (randomized algorithms with probabilistic guarantees), robustness, and flexibility.

• TomP2P is an advanced DHT, which stores multiple values for a key. Each peer has a table (either disk-based or memory-based) to store its values. A single value can be queried / updated with a secondary key. The underlying communication framework uses Java NIO to handle many concurrent connections.

• SIPDHT project is to provide a library to be used in applications for creating and using SIP based distributed hash tables. The algorithm implemented is loosely based on P2P SIP work (draft-bryan-sipping-p2p-02) and its primary intent is to be a work bench for the specification process.

• sinchana is a scalable and stable DHT implementation written using Apache Thrift. The communication protocol of the DHT is implemented using Thrift. The advantage of Thrift service protocol is it's small message size and the less usage of CPU.

Multi-network Software

giFT

• giFT is a collection of various software components geared towards improving the overall usability of a multitude of peer-to-peer file-sharing networks. This goal is accomplished by unifying the components such that a user of the software may choose any of the available interfaces to access any of the available networks. The central application, giftd, uses a plugin-based architecture capable of using multiple networks simultaneously through a single user interface.

Syncany

• Syncany is an open-source cloud storage and filesharing application. It allows users to backup and share certain folders of their workstations using any kind of storage, e.g. FTP, Amazon S3 or Google Storage. While the basic idea is similar to Dropbox, Syncany is open-source and additionally provides data encryption and more flexibility in terms of storage type and provider.

Other

• git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file contents into git. While that may seem paradoxical, it is useful when dealing with files larger than git can currently easily handle, whether due to limitations in memory, time, or disk space. git-annex is designed for git users who love the command line. For everyone else, the git-annex assistant turns git-annex into an easy to use folder synchroniser.

• lipsync! - an open source, commandline service that securely syncronizes your data. Powered by lsyncd, unison, ssh and fak3r. Think of it as a lightweight commandline version of Dr0pb0x that gives control back to you; the user and owner of the data.

• SparkleShare creates a special folder on your computer. You can add remotely hosted folders (or "projects") to this folder. These projects will be automatically kept in sync with both the host and all of your peers when someone adds, removes or edits a file.

• Seafile is a next-generation open source cloud storage system, with advanced support for file syncing, privacy protection and teamwork. Collections of files are called libraries, and each library can be synced separately. A library can be encrypted with a user chosen password. This password is not stored on the server, so even the server admin can't view your file contents. Seafile lets you create groups with file syncing, wiki, and discussion -- enabling easy collaboration around documents within a team.

• Pydio is an open source software that turns instantly any server (on premise, NAS, cloud IaaS or PaaS) into a file sharing platform for your company. It is an alternative to SaaS Boxes and Drives, with more control, safety and privacy, and favorable TCOs.

• bitpocket is a small but smart script that does 2-way directory synchronization. It uses rsync to do efficient data transfer and tracks local file creation/removal to avoid known rsync problem when doing 2-way syncing with deletion. bitpocket can use any server which you have ssh access to for its central storage. If you have gigabytes of free disk space on your hosting server you can finally make use of it.
