Surge is a new alternative to Bit Torrent, claiming to be 100% secure, 100% decentralized, and 100% anonymous. And the client and network are both 100% open sourced and owned by the community: so full transparency and no adware or malware. It has a modern and sleek user interface, and very fast in downloading large files across the globe. Please give it a try!
Interesting idea. And great you made it open sourced. 👍
as a huge, long time fan and supporter of NKN.org I can't describe how great it is seeing the technology stack that you guys have been building spread around as the backbone of real-world use cases and applications such as Surge! Huge congrats to you and the whole NKN team!!!
Surge works awesome! The whole rule110 dev team and all of you guys at NKN are absolute rockstars! ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
What's the file size limit?

Hi Jash, thank you for your interest! There are no strict limits, all files are sent in discreet chunks. These chunks are streamed from disk into memory. However hashing a file can take some time for files beyond a few gigs depending on disk read / hashing speed, memory speed etc. We will implement a progress indication for this.
Just downloaded, looks modern and promising. But where is the guarantee that files are really transmitted "decentralized & secure" if everyone can see them in list?

Hello there and thanks for your time to check out our app! The guarantee gives the underlaying NKN blockchain network which is also decentralized and secure. We got a little information about documented here: Of course there will be an in-depth explainer video to show you how anonymity and decentralisation is achieved. Also maybe you're interested and take a deep dive into the NKN network itself: If there any questions don't hesitate to ask! We're happy for every statement so we can give you the information you need to fully understand the tech behind it.
Chris is in the hooouuse, HYPE IT BABY !!
Interesting! I remember that there were a few decentralised file sharing tools based on Blockstack. I love the sleek UI design :D

Don't forget to visit our landing page () and read a bit more about Surge and NKN!
Awesome project.... Looks strong and feel classy
and it IS :)
I guess this is the new frontier of file transfer. Been a while since I used bittorrent but with block chain i can imagine we now have proof of download. Glad it is open source as that will build trust and quality. Wishing Surge best wishes. I have downloaded.
Hi! Looks very cool! You should update the website here on PH!
