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
or upload, making your identity available to spies from the RIAA and other
unscrupulous organizations.

Ants display collectively intelligent behavior when
foraging for food or fighting off predators.
Each ant in the colony acts in a rather simple
way, but together they end up doing something clever, like
discovering the shortest path between their ant hill
and a food source.
MUTE's routing mechanism is inspired by ant behavior.

MUTE is based on research, and experiments show
that it works quite well. MUTE's ant-inspired routing is light-weight,
robust, and adaptive. Results from experiments in real MUTE networks
show that the collective behavior of MUTE nodes quickly finds the shortest
(or fastest) routing path between two nodes on the network.

"The RIAA just started bullying Internet users, but they've been
bullying musicians for decades. By refusing to pay for major label
(RIAA) music, we can usher in a more fair music business and keep the
Internet free (as in freedom)."

Notes for Compiling From Source
To compile a graphical user interface for MUTE File Sharing, you need wxWindows.
We have built the binary distributions against wxWindows version 2.4.2, so your mileage may vary with other versions.
wxWindows is the only non-standard dependency that we know of.
The distribution also includes a text-based user interface.
If you want to avoid wxWindows, you should be able to try MUTE File Sharing using only a console.
However, functionality is somewhat limited in the console interface.
Note: The Crypto++ code that is included with MUTE is not compatible with gcc 3.4. There is a patch available that might help.
