Friend-to-friend With Third Party StorageA friend-to-friend with third party storage (or F3F for short) computer network is a particular type of F2F in which people store the files they want to exchange in a third party storage (e.g. FTP, Web, email server). Easta (open source) and Peer2Mail (proprietary) are prototypes of F3F respectively using POP3 and Webmail servers: easta.sf.net peer2mail.com Uses of F3F - F3F allow you to upload a file only once, and then all your friends can get it faster from the third party server.
* With a third party that adds a standard layer of encryption (e.g. SSL for Gmail or YahooMail) you can prevent your ISP from knowing that you use a F3F and what are the IP addresses of your friends. You should probably choose a third party located in a different country than yours, where logging of IPs is confidential and is trashed after a short period of time.
