It's a direct p2p connection to a single user for downloads. It's not swarm style like bittorrent. It's also a great resource for really rare / out of print stuff.

I used it without a vpn for years and never got a single nastygram from my ISP. I think I started with a beta release back around 2000 because I used to be cool like that.

Share your music library, download directly from other users library. Both are compatible, just different clients.
