Dijjer is a peer-to-peer web cache. It is "pure" P2P because it relies on the computers of those using it, and is almost completely decentralized.
Dijjer is similar in concept to BitTorrent but does not rely on a tracker or on a download client. It is also similar to Freenet both in that every participant in the network caches content on their disks, and in that it features a local web interface (listening on port 9115) that displays open connections and active downloads.
For example, to download the file at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijjer, one would instead use http://dijjer.org/get/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijjer to route the request through Dijjer, which will attempt to download the requested file from connected peers.
The Dijjer client, having received enough data from peers or from the source URL, will push this data to the requesting application, which is generally the web browser.
Its only implementation to date is written in Java and released under the GPL. It is currently a beta version.
As of June 2009 the site forwards to the Dijjer Google Code repository with a message asking for volunteers.
