P2P???

johnnygnote	Date: March 1, 2004 @ 6:53 PM Ok I know we've discuzzed this before and I know that p2p isn't great in Linux but!! I would like to hear some of your experiences using p2p software and clients in the Linux world. I know about several Qtella Knapster EDonkey I don't want to use Limewire. Any way if any of you know of any good ones or have good or bad things to say about the ones you use lets hear it I'm using Mandrake 9.1 as an OS on my Linux system. Oh if only Winmx was written for Linux that would be cool.
RyanS	Date: March 1, 2004 @ 7:52 PM I had WinMX working using Wine when I was using Mandrake 9.1. Worked great, but it didn't like it when I tried to play the song as it was downloading. It would crash instantly. Other than that, would work perfectly. But would be nice to see WinMX to run natively under Linux
pog	Date: March 1, 2004 @ 8:42 PM wouldn't it be called LinMX then, not WinMX ??
johnnygnote	Date: March 1, 2004 @ 11:29 PM OK Ryan so how did you install Winmx on your linux system? I have the Wine that came with 9.1 I jsut haven't installed it yet. Give all the info if you don;t mind. Pog that's great, LinMx
tomkerswill	Date: March 2, 2004 @ 6:38 AM Wow, that's impressive! I never really had much luck with Wine actually running windows programs... ... As for p2p, I have to say I use Limewire. Why do you not want to use it, out of interest? The Linux version is open source and obviously doesn't have adware and all that crap (though I think the windows version does!) You can always download the "pro" version from someone, using Limewire p2p, and get it for free... cheeky!
BobaFlex	Date: May 4, 2004 @ 12:43 AM I got kazaa and winmx working before when i had linux ... i would check this out though . i never liked using wine , they are making good programs for linux lately anyway .. http://apollon.sourceforge.net/ http://giftui.sourceforge.net/ http://giftoxic.sourceforge.net/ http://www.nongnu.org/giftcurs/ this here has nothing to do with p2p but i found it a while back and may intrest you for fun or whatever http://www.ruinedsoft.com/linpal/

mtekk	Date: June 6, 2004 @ 3:31 PM gtk-gnutella is linux native I believe.
Thaspian	Date: June 6, 2004 @ 4:39 PM gtk-gnutella is nice.
johnnygnote	Date: June 10, 2004 @ 1:33 AM I agree finaly found GTK Gnutella and it works great with Mandrake 9.1, easy to install, there is an rpm, but you have to track it down. Here's one for Mandrake 9.X http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/839452/com/gtk-gnutella-0.91.9.1-1plf.i586.rpm.html Here's a bunch more for various Linux, http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=gtk-gnutella&submit=Search+...
gothian	Date: September 18, 2004 @ 9:35 PM I use xmule, it's not as complete as its counterpart emule, but it has all the important things.... now, one thing is that when it is running I have a hard time ussing the internet, although I'm not ussing all the bandwidth with xmule. It might be a configuration problem, but I couldn't track it down because now I have a web and mail server and don't want to interfere with then, so, I don't use it anymore. I kinda remember that Gnutella and Limewire have spyware
jmweirick	Date: September 18, 2004 @ 9:40 PM not all gnutella clients have spyware and none of the Linux clients have spyware.
gothian	Date: September 19, 2004 @ 1:01 AM "none of the Linux clients have spyware" Limewire has, have you checked your IPtables log?
spiralmux	Date: September 19, 2004 @ 5:44 AM Once upon a time, there were a Soulseek client for Linux. I don't know if it's still being maintained, but it worked pretty damn well when I tried it
jmweirick	Date: September 23, 2004 @ 6:05 PM I kne limewire had spyware on windows, but I was told that it didn't on Linux. And they now claim to have no spyware or adware on any platform, though they do admit to having it in the past.
