About:
Easta is a Napster-inspired peer to peer filesharing system, built to operate entirely over email (POP/IMAP+SMTP). More people have access to email than any other service, and in addition it gives easy access to file-sharing for the 90% of the planet stuck behind a firewall without a SOCKS connection. There's some nice side-effects too, such as asynchronous downloading, even when you're offline.

[»] manual...

I saw the comment you put concerning a user manual on your Easta site.
I'm willing to write a user manual to your program, also because i'm willing to test it, detect bugs, and to do that, i need to group some people here. Difficult task if some of the people i talked to are not computer experts. I'm trying to have the patiente to teach everyone on how to put your program to work.
Are you developping a new version? Or those links you put on the site is a way to encourage us on improving the program ?

By the way, i'm connected to the GNet_PT, the Gnutella Portuguese project of P2P, and the "Easter_PT" is now a baby child yet linked to GNet_PT. The goal was to try and start independent...

I hope you continue to develop on this project. This is great !! I had some problems at the beginning to fully understand it (for example, i had a lousy mail server, very slow).
My suggestion: You should write a more ellaborate manual to users.
Also, i saw some bugs there: the impossibility to enter a directory (when we double-click nothing happens and it appears java "code"); same thing on the download folder, if you double click on the status.
I hope those problems will be resolved soon. I'm looking forward to hear from you.

Best wishes,
