it was called "Share" and before that there was WinNy, a fork of the WinMX p2p client.


It was a four letter name that I’m not comfortable posting here…


Sorry, I don't understand. Why is it uncomfortable to name a piece of software?


Oh no. I failed to include that part in the original comment. The logic was that the name(think “LordVoldemort.exe”) cannot be aired or published, so authorities cannot communicate arrests to the public, which makes it moot to do so, thereby shielding the users.


So would something bad happen if you posted the name..?
