P2P in Linux

I was just wondering what the best overall P2P program there is out there for Linux. I would rather have a FastTrack client but pretty much any will due.

Gtk-Gnutella

I use Azureus, it is a bittorrent client that uses Java so it's not platform specific.

and Limewire for everything else:

Make sure you have a Java Runtime Environment installed, and if you are having trouble with that just reply back here. And then install Limewire, if you are a Windows user with Kazaa/Napster experience, you'll love it.

Try giFT. It has plugins that can connect to fastrack, gnutella and openFT.

If you're into the DC scene, valknut is very nice. DC is the ultimate if you have a hub at college (I run one for my campus actually), talk about killer DL speeds!

I guess im gonna give limewire a shot, had some difficulties with it, especially with java. But a second chance is what i shall give it

Ill reply back later if i experience the same java probs again.

If the Java rpm gives you trouble try the self extracting binary.
