Hi people. I'm showing you my project called OpenItsMe. You can use it to download files from friends on social network (currently only Facebook is supported) and share files with them. So if you and your FB friends are using this software, you will be able to share and download files from them (files they shared).
Feeback is welcome because project is constantly in development.
Download and sign up at OpenItsMe - Chat online and share files with people

So, are you sharing the source code with us, or just advertising, or what? This feels very spammy.

Asking for feedback, if you want to put it in that way. Sorry, I did not know I have to share the source code with you. Delete if you think its spam, I hate spam

Ah, that makes more sense. Alas, I'm not an FB user.

My first thought is why doesn't it use OpenID since it's using Facebook and all?

Honestly, I didnt knew about it. I checked it now and maybe OpenID wasnt necessary for this project. In fact, Facebook is not what is strongly needed for this application. Its role is similar to role in Windows Live Messanger or Skype - just to find friends on Facebook who are using this program and become friend/contact internally for this service. You don't have to be a user of Facebook to use this program.
So I used Facebook Graph API to authenticate application (Desktop Application Authentication - Facebook Developers) where Facebook has its own web based login and permissions dialogs and then service gets access token for the user. This token is later used for retrieving list of user's friends. This ensures that program does not store Facebook login email and password in database, it just saves Facebook user ID and access token (given for this application).

I have been using Frostwire and i think this will be a better option. I am addicted to use this:)
