Other Stuff are also available for the three reasons (above Situation). For  instance, both PurpleNova and Dekoh Dekstop are used for share content on internet directly from the hard drive without having any upload.

Note : your computer must be in running state and also connected to the Internet for others to downloads files and web pages. Since Opera Unite streams content directly from you machine- it doesn’t upload or caches anything to its own servers.
