Ok lets start of by saying that me and some friends would like to make a private network. This network would only has to support like around max 200 users. 30ish right now.

We are having trouble finding something that can fit our criteria and that led me in the direction of Phex. With the right coding would it be possible to:

1. Make Phex very secure from outside nosey types.

2. Share extreme amounts of files, several TB worth for some, without it having much effect on the computer.

3. Download/Upload whole folders at a time or single files. Both are very important.

4. Incorperate some IRC channel like chat into Phex

5. Do all of this while keeping it completely decentralized so no user is forced to have their computer on always and off course keeping the swarming ability of Gnutella protocol.

Thanks in advance for any answer on this.
