Greetings!

I'm looking for a freeware that would allow me and a few colleagues to
share files over the internet and also allow interrupted downloads to
be resumed. It's kind'a like a p2p-type of freeware that's more
exclusive and secure as oppose to being open to the whole world.

Thanks!

Personally, I would just setup an FTP server and be done with it. But if you
want something more in line with P2P, this utility may be the one:

Well you could always setup a BitTorrent tracker & make it so you have
to sign into a site to use the torrent. I know several sites do that
now. All you have to do to keep it private is make it so people can
only see the files or even connect to the tracker from the IP address
they signed in from.

If your question is worth asking, it's worth posting.

If it’s not worth posting you should have done a search on

to just has this article I think people should read before posting a
technical question.)

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm currently exploring the possibility of
using OpenSSH+WinSCP as a solution. It's more secure and it does allow
the resumption of interrupted file transfers.
