Perfect Dark (P2P)
Perfect Dark ( Japanese パーフェクトダーク) is a peer-to-peer - file sharing application from Japan for Windows . It was launched in 2006 by an author who goes by the pen name Kaicho (会長 The Chairman ). Perfect Dark was developed with the intention of being the successor to Winny and Share . Since version 1.02, code name “Stand Alone Complex”, the program has been run in English.
By default, Perfect Dark requires a higher bandwidth and requires more hard drive space than its predecessors Winny and Share. The minimum upload share speed is 100 KB / sec and at least 40 GB of hard disk space for its temporary “Unity” folder (a cache). However, Perfect Dark also works with significantly slower connections up to ISDN, so it hardly reaches the maximum Unity cache size except for a few gigabytes. For the normal download priority, however, at least 2 GB of data from the Unity's own cache must have been uploaded back to the network once.
Perfect Dark is therefore an anti-leech client that uses resources much more strictly than Edonkey / Emule via the credit system.
To exchange files between users or their Unity caches, Perfect Dark uses RSA-1024 and AES-128 encryption to transfer the data. The security is thus classified similar to that of Freenet , since it is hardly possible for outsiders to determine which data is being sent from whom and where.
To connect to the network for the first time, Perfect Dark needs a node list and the activated trigger port 80 and the TCP port 64256 in the router, which can also be changed.
