Free gnutella file sharing software for linux

LimeWire is a multi-platform Gnutella client with nice features like auto-connect, groups, browse host, multiple search, upload throttling, connection quality control, library management and sophisticated filtering. LimeWire is built for the both the novice and power user.
LimeWire allows you to search for multiple files at the same time, available in several different languages, and is most famous for its ease-of-use and cross compatibility.
LimeWire will run on Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Sun, and other computing platforms.
Main features:
- Ease of use - just install, run, and search
- Ability to search by artist, title, genre, or other metainformation
- Elegant multiple search tabbed interface
- "Swarm" downloads from multiple hosts help you get files faster
- iTunes integration for Mac users
- Unique "ultrapeer" technology reduces bandwidth requirements for most users
- Integrated chat
- Browse host feature--even works through firewalls
- Added Bitzi metadata lookup
- International versions: Now available in many new languages.
- Connects to the network using GWebCache, a distributed connection system
- Automatic local network searches for lightning-fast downloads. If youre on a corporate or university network, download files from other users on the same network almost instantaneously!
- Support for MAGNET links that allow you to click on web page links that access Gnutella.

Gtk-Gnutella is a server/client for Gnutella. It runs on every Unix-like system which supports GTK+ (1.2 or above) and libxml. Gnome is not required.
It is currently developed and tested under Linux (Debian 2.2) and is known to run at least on Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin, Solaris, Tru64 UNIX (OSF/1), SGI IRIX, BeOS whereas CPU architectures include x86, AMD64, PowerPC, SPARC, MIPS.
gtk-gnutella project is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Gtk-Gnutella is not finished yet, but it is fully functional: you may share, search, and download. And it is stable too, users usually just leave it run unattended for days.
Main features:
- Share files on the gnutella network (Limewire, BearShare, Xolox, Gnucleus, Shareaza, Morpheus ...)
- Compressed GNet connections
- Simultaneous downloading of files from multiple hosts (swarming)
- Passive searches
- Searching by urn:sha1: and magnet:
- Automatic aquisition of additional sources via download mesh and watching searches
- Powerful filtering engine
- Bandwidth management/limiting
- A lot of settings
- A lot of statistics
Enhancements:
- Features include server-side support for Tigertree hashes and THEX, improved spam filters, paused downloads, and a query syntax for easier creation of result filters.
- There were also many bugfixes and other changes.

Noname Network provides a powerful file-sharing network.

The Noname network is a gnutella-based network that features a different and more flexible protocol. The client and network currently support filesharing, but the protocol can be extended to support more features.

Parallel::Workers::Shared is a simple Perl module.

Parallel::Workers::Shared requires no configuration files or environment variables.

Real-Time Proactive Secret Sharing Library is an implementation of the Shamirs secret sharing scheme and Herzbergs proactive secret sharing algorithm.

Real-Time Proactive Secret Sharing Library targets the RTAI OS. It includes a port of GNU GMP to RTAI, which is used for multiple precision arithmetic operations.

to run the rt-pss

./start_pss ID (*) ID should be between 0 and PSSW_NUMBER_OF_MACHINES-1(this constant is defined in src/share_app_pssw.h)
(*) each local RT-PSS should be executed with a
different ID starting with 0
(*) you must have superuser privilegies to do that.

to stop the rt-pss


./stop_pss (*) be sure that no applications that uses the RT-PSS are
running.
(*) you must have superuser privilegies to do that.

developing RT-PSS Apps

There is a demo application available in the directory: examples/GetShare. The RT-PSS API can be consulted in the file README.API

MLdonkey is a multi-platform multi-networks peer-to-peer client. Originally, MLdonkey was the first open-source client to access the eDonkey network. The protocol was reverse-engeneered using an efficient protocol sniffer, Pandora .
Currently, with eDonkey , it supports several large networks, such as Overnet , Bittorrent , Gnutella (Bearshare, Limewire,etc), Gnutella2 (Shareaza), Fasttrack (Kazaa, Imesh, Grobster), Soulseek (beta), Direct-Connect (alpha), and Opennap (alpha). Networks can be enabled/disabled, searches are performed in parallel on all enabled networks, but each file is only downloaded from one network (wait for next release !), but from multiple clients concurrently.
MLdonkey runs as a daemon on the computer. It can be controlled using several interfaces: the simplest one is telnet (telnet 127.0.0.1 4000), a more interesting one is a WEB server (http://127.0.0.1:4080/), and a binary protocol allows access using more elaborate Graphical Interfaces (see the GUIs available on your system at the bottom of the page). MLdonkey comes by default with a GTK interface. All these interfaces can be used locally, or remotely (after disabling security restrictions).
MLdonkey is written in Objective-Caml , a powerful language that runs on most Operating Systems.
Enhancements:
- Ocaml 3.10.0 is now the default compiler
- do not compile unmaintained Gnutella/G2 by default
- non-EDK: Discover WAN IP
- Swarmer: Optional linear downloadBT: Improve UTF8 support
- BT: Support user_commit_dir when seeding
- BT: Fix country-based IP blocking
