Lopster

Lopster is a cool file-sharing client that works with servers like OpenNap and SlavaNap, kind of like the old Napster. If you’re wondering how it works, let me break it down for you!

What is Napster?

So, Napster is a protocol that lets users share files directly with each other. The best part? Your files stay on your device! They never have to go through the server. The server just helps you find the files you're looking for and sets up the transfer between users. Plus, there are chat forums just like IRC where you can hang out and talk.
