good P2P client for Linux, anybody?

hpnadig · 06-06-2004, 12:28 AM

've been searching hard for a good P2P client for Linux all these days... Gnutella, Qtella, Bittorrent, Xmule all are okay, but too complex stuffs. I was okay with Xmule for a while... but it crashes a lot, segfaults sometimes at searches and nothing gets downloaded, just stays pending.

Is there a good P2P client (on the lines of shareaza for windows)?

Please do let me know if you've used one and could get around with it easily.

hi hpnadig, rmemmber me on the IRC ??

I suggest u take a look at LIMEWIRE

...and I suggest Xnap. Only the opennap plugin is stable, but it's very good. You need Java installed, and ID'd in your $PATH, to make it work.

gtk-gnutella pretty straight foward graphical p2p!

APOLLON !!!!

it is a graphical frontend to the giFT daemon.
it has a great KDE interface (but should still work with gnome)

and the best feature.... unlike the above p2p clients, will can connect to 3 seperate p2p networks...

gnutella (which most of the above use)
openFT
and FastTrack (which is the same network Kazaa uses)

however it is early in its development, and oon my system (fedora core 2) needed me to manually copy a few config files into my home directory. no big deal.

mldonkey - never crashes

i use limewire and giftoxic without problem. the first p2p i used on linux was donkey(cli) and then limewire,mldonkey,gtk-gnutella,gift and all its plugins, never tried *mule,dc-connect and the rest.

these are mostly gnutella clients that are being mentioned, out of all of them i liked gtk-gnutella the best. If you want to try a different network try python soulseek, its a linux soulseek client that uses the soulseek network. soulseek owns all, if you wait long enough you will find every single song you could imagine, or program if you have a windows box.
