What is Blubster?
Blubster is a peer to peer file sharing network (mainly a music-sharing network) utility created by Pablo Soto, who works under Optisoft. In 2003, Blubster had more than 80,000 users worldwide, often reaching 100,000 during peak times, and has now become a major p2p community. The p2p network now claims to have more than 263,213 users, sharing ranks with well-known networks such as Overnet, DirectConnect, Gnutella, FastTrack and eDonkey2000.
Blubster uses a peer-to-peer network with a new private protocol called MANOLITO, which works without a central server. Once the Blubster client program connects with another client, you can search and download MP3 files from the entire network of users. Blubster claims to be free of malicious bundled software such as adware and Spyware, and to keep transfer information protected, or at least put significant barriers in the way of data collection. And by using the UDP protocol instead of TCP, the serverless network doesn’t show detailed IP address information.
Unlike other networks, earlier version of Blubster did not have multisource downloading capabilities in the conventional swarming sense....
