MuWire - Easy Anonymous File-Sharing

MuWire is an easy to use file-sharing program which offers anonymity using I2P technology. It works on any platform Java works on, including Windows,MacOS,Linux.

It is inspired by the LimeWire Gnutella client and developped by a former LimeWire developer.

The current stable release - 0.5.2 is avaiable for download at https://muwire.com. You can find technical documentation in the "doc" folder.

Building

You need JDK 8 or newer. After installing that and setting up the appropriate paths, just type

./gradlew clean assemble

If you want to run the unit tests, type

./gradlew clean build

If you want to build binary bundles that do not depend on Java or I2P, see the https://github.com/zlatinb/muwire-pkg project

Running

After you build the application, look inside gui/build/distributions. Untar/unzip one of the shadow files and then run the jar contained inside by typing java -jar gui-x.y.z.jar in a terminal or command prompt.

If you have an I2P router running on the same machine that is all you need to do. If you use a custom I2CP host and port, create a file i2p.properties and put i2cp.tcp.host=<host> and i2cp.tcp.port=<port> in there. On Windows that file should go into %HOME%\AppData\Roaming\MuWire, on Mac into $HOME/Library/Application Support/MuWire and on Linux $HOME/.MuWire

Default I2CP port: 7654
