Default Lionshare

Does Lionshare use the gnutella network? And is it a scam version of some sort?

The site works for me:
Quote:
LionShare is a secure P2P file sharing application for higher education, enabling legal file sharing for Penn State university and beyond.. Find and share legal academic content in a secure P2P environment. LionShare 1.1 is available for download now.
Download


P2P Designed for Universities

LionShare was built from the ground up with academic users in mind. Search and retrieve academic content from other LionShare users and many academic networks across the globe.


Built with Security and Responsibility in Mind

LionShare is centered around a security model that disallows the anonymous sharing of files. Users must login with their university access accounts in order share files on the LionShare network.


Offline Sharing

Users can upload files to a LionShare server, to share on the network even when their computer is disconnected.


Stay in Touch

Communicate with other LionShare users with our integrated instant messenger. LionShare IM user names are the same as your university e-mail address, making it easy to find friends and colleagues.


Runs on Everything

LionShare runs on all the major operating systems including: Windows, Mac, and Linux. To learn more, visit our system requirements page.
Open Source

LionShare source code is released under the GNU GPL License. For more information, visit our development page.
Basically, it's a hacked and crippled version of LimeWire that nobody outside of a lab would want.

It's no scam, just crippled in an attempt to make it "politically correct".

There's no point in using it unless you are in a college course that depends on it.

You probably couldn't use it anyway unless you were actually inside a college network.
