In plain words
iWant is a command-line application for sharing files peer-to-peer across a local area network without requiring a central server. Launched in 2017, it enables users on the same LAN to transfer files directly to each other through a decentralized system. The tool is designed for anyone who needs to share files locally without relying on cloud services or traditional file-sharing methods. Its primary distinction is operating entirely on local networks through a decentralized architecture accessible from the command line.
