new version of hivedrop / alt-p2p (OSS) released today

alt-p2p allows P2P (peer-to-peer) data transfers between 2 computers on the Internet . Fast UDP-based packet transfer, works across common routers/switches/firewalls, performs NAT traversal without port forwarding, UPNP, etc.

alt-p2p-ui is the Desktop GUI for alt-p2p (Mac, Windows)

What's new in v0.3.0:
* NEW - New Settings tab for advanced users (set timeouts, intervals, retries)
* NEW - Ability to enable fallback to TCP or UDP relay (via coordination server). Useful when UDP hole punching fails.
* Improved - Bump alt-p2p dependency to v0.3.0 (for TCP & UDP relay support)

Key Features of alt-p2p:
- Transfer data directly between 2 computers (Win or Mac, Linux soon)
- No third party clouds. No file / file size limits.
- Faster transfers (2-4X faster than cloud-based solutions)
- Secure, private transfers using E2EE (end-to-end encryption)
- Open source for maximum transparency , security, and audits

alt-p2p OSS repo is now available on github!

alt-p2p enables encrypted peer-to-peer file transfer over UDP with NAT traversal. Built for alt-core, a decentralized virtual filesystem.

Peers connect through a lightweight coordination server, punch through NATs, establish a DTLS-encrypted channel, and transfer files with reliable delivery, congestion control, and integrity verification.

Features
- NAT traversal - UDP hole punching with symmetric NAT support
- End-to-end encryption - DTLS 1.2 with pre-shared key authentication
- Reliable delivery - SACK-based selective acknowledgment with retransmission
- Congestion control - AIMD with slow start, fast retransmit, and adaptive receiver window
- Integrity verification - SHA-256 hash checked by receiver after transfer
- Resume support - Interrupted transfers resume from last checkpoint via .p2p-partial sidecar files
- Progress display - Real-time progress bar with speed and ETA

Another week, another major cloud service outage ! Today's outage affects collaboration and communication services used by companies of all sizes.

Every outage reminds us of the fragility of systems that rely on centralized architectures with SPOFs (single points of failure).

Meanwhile, alt-core servers are humming along 24/7/365 with 0-min of unplanned downtime...

alt-core users benefit from self-hosted, peer-to-peer, decentralized technology that never goes down for mission-critical file/chat/video streaming services.

It's time to wake up, and take control of your data and critical collaboration services.

Set up your own file/chat/media server on your Mac/PC/Linux machine in minutes. Visit our Github repo and DIY build/install alt-core.

Or, visit our website and request a live demo or risk-free 14-day trial/eval. Link below.
