'''Filetopia''' is a free, multi-platform [[peer-to-peer file sharing]] client and networking tool that allows users to share files and send [[Instant messaging|instant messages]] to others. Users can share files in public [[chat room]]s or privately with contacts. 

== History ==
Filetopia software development started in October 1998, and the first [[public beta]] was released in March 1999. The classic Filetopia software version was 3.04d, 2002. In 2003, Filetopia v3.04 was reviewed in [[PCMag|''PC Magazine'']] and rated 3/5.<ref>[https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1195000,00.asp Filetopia 3.04 review.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170309165643/http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1195000,00.asp |date=2017-03-09 }} PCmag.com 2003</ref> In 2004, the author of Filetopia was interviewed on the website [[Slyck.com]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.slyck.com/news.php?story=454|title=Slyck News - Filetopia Making Headway|website=www.slyck.com|access-date=2013-03-01|archive-date=2014-05-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140505002603/http://www.slyck.com/news.php?story=454|url-status=live}}</ref>

In April 2012, development began on a project to completely rewrite the program in [[JavaFX]]. This version was eventually released as Filetopia FX.

=== Filetopia FX (from 2015) ===

Filetopia FX no longer allows global-wide file searching and instead encourages meeting new people. It is a complete rewrite of the original.

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.

Users could also host their own rooms, which are excluded from the main P2P network.
