Comments
PixVillage makes economical use of bandwidth, giving users direct access to images on
your hard drive. It is a real P2P system in that it uses a special algorithm to copy photos
to every authorized user. This means that people can have access to your images even
when you are offline. Naturally, it works best when there is a network of users to spread
the load.
