Ba Ba BaShare Is Not For Sheep

Yet another promising project rocking the latest in file sharing. Seems to work well on my LAN, I expect the same except that I had some issues with miniupnpc in the background. Apparently BaShare was not able to work with my network setup. Turned out that even though it does have an effective, be it slow (it grays out for a minute) uPnP tool, one must still open up the ports on their IPTables. I use gUFW, so this was easy enough.

From a practical standpoint, I can see this being very useful. Considering how much down time I have seen personally, as have others I collaborate with using Ubuntu One, this is a great collaboration utility for file sharing.

Assuming you able to get it working with uPnP or are willing to use the ports provided, I see BaShare being a very handy collaboration tool over time. Still think it needs a bit of documentation as most people will have no idea how to get it working with IPTables, but outside of this, it appears to work nicely for me.
