The '''MUTE Network''' (or '''MUTE-net''') is a [[peer-to-peer]] and [[friend-to-friend]] [[file sharing]] network developed with anonymity in mind. The MUTE client is [[open source]] software released under the [[Public domain]] and includes support for the [[Linux]], [[Mac OS X]] and [[Microsoft Windows]] computer [[operating systems]].
Unlike the relatively popular [[Freenet]] [[anonymous P2P]] network, Mute's search functionality is similar to classical peer-to-peer applications.
==History of MUTE==
MUTE was developed by [[Jason Rohrer]] using a routing [[algorithm]] based on [[ant colony optimization]].<ref>{{cite news | title = Covering tracks: New privacy hope for P2P | publisher = [[CNET News]] | date = [[February 24]], [[2004]] | url = http://www.news.com/2100-1027_3-5164413.html}}</ref>
