RedSwoosh ist ein Torrent-Programm. Grundsätzlich nicht schlecht. Auch wenn auf den Akamai-Seiten (Eigner dieser Gesellschaft) steht, dass nichts geschieht, was Sie nicht wollen, so sollten Sie sicher sein, dass nichts in den Cache-Dateien des Programms verbleibt. Denn RedSwoosh verteilt diese Inhalte ungefragt weiter. Das könnte ein persönliches Risiko sein/werden.

Part of a "sandbox" (non-official) Firefox add-on. Manages torrent files. Problem is it works in the background (invisible) when Firefox is opened.

Needed by FoxTorrent, a torrent-client for Firefox. The exe is the program that enables file-sharing with the RedSwoosh network.
