LuckyWire, also known as Lucky VPN is an open source software based on the well known Limewire software that allows the use of a local area network (LAN). LuckyWire is very fast compared to other peer-to-peer (P2P) applications. In fact, it may be the fastest P2P application available for download. It is designed in such a way that it makes it easy for the user to download and even share files from their computer to another computer within the same LAN network.
LuckyWire can be used both on windows systems as well as on MACS. One notable difference between this software and its competitor is that while LuckyWire offers limited encryption, Mu Wire offers complete encryption. This feature is especially notable when one considers that the primary purpose of such a service is to circumvent firewalls. However, this feature may not be particularly useful for those who download music or engage in free file sharing applications. On the other hand, it may prove useful to those who download important files from free web sites and share them with others.
Since MuWire is an open source software, one can expect that it offers the same robust features as its competitor LuckyWire. The key selling point of this software however, is the fact that it works on both windows as well as MAC systems hence making it a viable solution for downloading as well as sharing files. Furthermore, one can easily install this software by following instructions provided in the software installation wizard. The final product is an easy to use yet powerful utility that facilitates easy sharing and downloading of files via a Local Area Network.
