A small utility that makes your files sharing become easier.
Editor: Bitcollider is a small program you can run on your own computer to reliably identify and describe files on your machine. When run with a specific file as input, this program does two major things:
It examines the file, calculating a distinctive digital Fingerprint, or bitprint, and taking note of some other identifying information that can be extracted from the file, like file length and the local filename.
It launches your Web Browser to do a lookup at our website, submitting this identifying information as the search terms.
At our website, youll see what - if anything - others have said about your file: what it really is, where it came from, and what people think of it. Youll also have a chance to contribute descriptions or comments yourself. If your automatic submission included information useful to our database, that new information will be contributed to the database. You may choose whether this contribution occurs under your Bitzi screen name, or anonymously.
The Bitcollider includes no adware or other bundled third-party software.
The Bitcollider only initiates connection to our webserver when you activate it on a specific file. All of its communication occurs through your Default web browser, where you can see all the data it submits.
The file is precompiled executable for Linux x86 machines (tested on Red Hat 9 and Fedora Core 1; remember to set the executable bit). you can free download Bitcollider for Linux 0.6.0 now.
