RedHat - No interface - P2P d/l
 

Hey Guys,

I'm having a RedHat server running on the network. It has telnet access. Since it's standing somewhere in the back of a closet the shell is the only interface available.

What I'm looking for is a p2p d/l client for the server. What I value most:
- has to be for linux shell
- has to support stuff like sharereactor
- has to be as safe as posible. (so no kazaa ported for linux :))

I heard good story's about eMule and the eMuleMorph mod, but I can't manage to find the eMuleMorph mod for linux/shell.

Anyone a suggestion for a good prog?
Anyone a suggestion for installing eMuleMorph?

Hope hearing, cos I don't know where to go from here.

ThNx for reading!

GrTzzz....

Gift has a ncurses client.
http://gift.sourceforge.net/
Uses OpenFT and can access Direct Connect and the Kazza networks, but you can disable that.
As a warning there is no such thing as a super-secure p2p, in my opinion they are all equally a liability. Unless someone is activly trying to hack you, and they have a clue what's going on, you needn't really be worried. Just make sure you set up a firewall, and disable services you don't need. RH especially comes with waayyyy too many services enabled by default.

Thanks for the Gift!

I have never heard of gift before. So might be worth a try.
In fact I'm going to try it right now.

(If anyone else has a sugestion.... I'm open to everything.... (nearly everything))

Don't think mldonkey is usable from the console.

This is what the site of mldonkey claims:

I might try mldonkey too

Oke, I hope I don't hurt anybody's feelings by saying this, but:
giFT sucks!

:)
Spend some days walking trough a forest of conflicts between packages. >:@

I know that the developers of giFT don't what to make a rpm yet because of a good reason.
But compiling this one yourself is no fun! Way to many dependicies (sorry, have my own english). It can make your live a hell, so much I can tell you.

So much for the giFT. Many thanks to teval for sugesting anyhow. By the way, I don't want to withhold anyone from thying giFT, but you are warned :)

Next on the agenda: mlMule (sugested by crashmeister)

Very nice place to start from when installing mlMule. To bad I found out a little late, so I have a version downloaded from SourceForge. Nevertheless, that shouldn't be a problem.
