Filetopia

<h2 id="history">History</h2>
<p>Filetopia software development started in October 1998, and the first <a href="/facts/Public_beta/z4Q4RElA">public beta</a> was released in March 1999. The classic Filetopia software version was 3.04d, 2002. In 2003, Filetopia v3.04 was reviewed in <a href="/facts/PCMag/uPNIj5y0"><i>PC Magazine</i></a> and rated 3/5.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> In 2004, the author of Filetopia was interviewed on the website <a href="/facts/Slyck.com/nhmLdEqh">Slyck.com</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a>
</p><p>In April 2012, development began on a project to completely rewrite the program in <a href="/facts/JavaFX/hWrAAmny">JavaFX</a>. This version was eventually released as Filetopia FX.
</p>
<h3>Filetopia FX (from 2015)</h3>
<p>Filetopia FX no longer allows global-wide file searching and instead encourages meeting new people. It is a complete rewrite of the original.
</p><p>In this version, the maximum file size limit of 2 GB was removed; users gained the ability to post images and HTML fragments, which are filtered for security purposes; Room Walls have new features, such as comments, votes, and moderation; the ability to notify admins and subscribers was added; and the Log was given a search function.
</p><p>Users could also host their own rooms, which are excluded from the main P2P network.
