Decentralized file sharing, chat and news application

The Circle is a peer-to-peer application that provides file sharing,
instant messaging, and news services. It's novel feature is that while
it is fully decentralized, the method it uses to search for files and
people theoretically scales to millions or billions of users. Advanced
features include the ability to download a file from multiple sources
simulataneously, the ability to send messages to people who are not
currently online, and the ability to generate a customized news service
by specifying trusted sources of news.
