MUTE protects your privacy by avoiding
direct connections with your sharing partners in the network.
Most other file sharing programs use direct connections to download

foraging for food or fighting off predators.

show that the collective behavior of MUTE nodes quickly finds the shortest
(or fastest) routing path between two nodes on the network.

Internet free (as in freedom)."
