http://gift-fasttrack.berlios.de/

You might also want to check out:
http://gift-opennap.berlios.de
and
http://gift-soulseek.sourceforge.net

I hadn't seen this last one before, but I found it when I was looking for the link you requested. They're all listed in the giFT FAQ

Enjoy!

Indeed, I notice most of the ultrapeers I'm connected to seem to be running Limewire. They certainly hold the network together.

I'd have to say giFT. Having FastTrack, OpenFT, Gnutella, and OpenNap all running through 1 program is very handy indeed. If only I could download the same file from the different networks and have the data considate into 1 file, now THEN it would definately be the most powerful one out there. Well, second to DirectConnect....
