Privacy
It is unable to confirm the file originator. When a foxy client searches for a file, other foxy clients reply with a list of IPs who have the file. The IPs may or may not be the file originator, and there is no indication on which IP is the file originator, a relay, or a replica.

Famous quotes containing the word privacy:
“You may well ask how I expect to assert my privacy by resorting to the outrageous publicity of being one’s actual self on paper. There’s a possibility of it working if one chooses the terms, to wit: outshouting image-gimmick America through a quietly desperate search for self.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
“The East is the hearthside of America. Like any home, therefore, it has the defects of its virtues. Because it is a long-lived-in house, it bursts its seams, is inconvenient, needs constant refurbishing. And some of the family resources have been spent. To attain the privacy that grown-up people find so desirable, Easterners live a harder life than people elsewhere. Today it is we and not the frontiersman who must be rugged to survive.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
“All violations of essential privacy are brutalizing.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
