WHAT IS FILETOPIA ?
===================

Filetopia is a free program for those who collect any kind of files. 
It consists of a Collection Manager coupled with a secure File Server 
and a secure Chat client. It uses strong (256 bits) cryptography along 
with a Public key mechanism to provide security both for the File 
Server and the Chat. It is very easy to use, its Getting Started Wizard 
will help novice users to start working with the program in minutes, 
automating all the configuration tasks. The Collection Manager lets you 
create lists of all your files, compare them with files from other 
users and only get those files new to your collection. The Chat client 
provides mechanisms to protect your identity and to prevent attacks 
from other users (so frequently seen on IRC).
-- Use Filetopia to improve your collection in a secure, comfortable 
environment.
