It provides search facilities, and has -a 2 level hierarchical scheme for organizing peers. - -Being a peer-to-peer network, there is no central server during -normal operation. All communication is done between peers. - -giFT is the generic interface to FastTrack. It is intended to be -interoperable with existing clients, and to speak a compatible -protocol to that of the FastTrack network in order to communicate -with peers. This program's reason for existing is as a compatible, -interoperable, open source, Linux-based peer for the network. - -Unlike the existing clients, giFT uses a central server only extremely -rarely. It does not require registrations or logins, and is not -trying to show users advertisements. The issue of locating network -peers is discussed later on.
