  Channels

\ +

Channels allow you to post data (e.g. movies, music) that will spread in the network \ + among people who subscribed your channel. If you activate auto-download on a channel, files attached to each post will start \ + downloading automatically when the post is received.

\ +

You see channels your friends are subscribed to, and forward subscribed channels to \ + your friends. This promotes good channels in the network. \ + When you first connect to a new friend, it's likely \ + you will receive many such cache files, and new channels will appear. \ +

\ +

Only the channel's creator can post on that channel. Other peers \ + in the network can only read from it, unless the channel is private. You can however share the posting rights or the reading rights \ + with your friends.

  Chat Lobbies

\ +

Chat lobbies are distributed chat rooms, and work pretty much like IRC. \ + They allow you to talk anonymously with tons of people without the need to make friends.

\ +

A chat lobby can be public (you friends see it) or private (your friends can't see it, unless you \ + invite them with ). Once you have been invited to a private lobby, you will be able to see it when your friends \ + are using it.

  File Transfer

\ +

Retroshare brings two ways of transferring files: direct transfers from your friends, and \ + distant anonymous tunnelled transfers. In addition, file transfer is multi-source and allows swarming \ + (you can be a source while downloading)

\ +

You can share files using the icon from the left side bar. \ + These files will be listed in the My Files tab. You can decide for each friend group whether they can or not see these files \ + in their Friends Files tab

\ +

The search tab reports files from your friends' file lists, and distant files that can be reached \ + anonymously using the multi-hop tunnelling system.

  Forums

\ +

Retroshare Forums look like internet forums, but they work in a decentralized way: \ + You see forums your friends are subscribed to, and you forward subscribed forums to \ + your friends. This automatically promotes interesting forums in the network.

\ +

Forums are either Authenticated () in which case you need to cryptographically sign \ + your posts, or anonymous (). The former class is more resistant to spamming.

\ +

Forum posts propagate from friend to friend using small cache file exchanges. When you first connect to a new friend, it's likely \ + you will receive many such cache files, and new forums will appear. \ +

The Friends tab shows...your friends: the list of persons you have accepted to connect to. \
