Free p2p programs software for linux

Programs Bar is a programs launcher bar theme for SuperKaramba.

Was tested on Mandriva 2006 and Fedora Core 5.

Program Guard allows the user of a Linux workstation to specify which application programs that are allowed TCP/IP connections to the Internet (Internet addresses are defined as any IP address not in the range of 10.0.0.0/24 or 192.168.0.0/16).

The application program names can be specified by listing them in a file (Static Mode) by querying the user (Query Mode). In Query Mode, when a program that is unknown to Program Guard attempts to access an Internet IP address, Program Guard displays the Program Guard Dialog Box.

In addition to providing connection information, this dialog box gives the workstation user the option of allowing the program to access the Internet or to be blocked from accessing the Internet. This can be done either for the current instance of the program or for this and all future instances of the program (Make Persistent checkbox).

Currently, the program names that are allowed or denied Internet access apply to all users of the workstation rather than on a per user basis. For example, if Program Guard is running in Query Mode and user A invokes a program previously blocked from Internet access by user B, the program will be blocked from Internet access for User A as well.

Connections blocked by Program Guard are logged to the Program Guard log file pgrd.log. It is located in the /var/log/pgrd directory. If desired, Program Guard can be configured to log all Internet connection attempts rather than just those that have been blocked.

Program Guard was tested on Fedora Core 1 and Fedora Core 3 on single processor 32 bit X86 Intel processors. It has not been tested on other distributions or on multi-processor machines. While it works on Fedora Core 1, it will not build on a standard Linux 2.4.x kernel due to task_struct definitions that were not made until Linux 2.6. If there is enough interest, a version that runs under a standard Linux 2.4 kernel may be made available.

To run in Query Mode, Gnome 2.x and Glade 2.x are required. There are no prerequisites for Static Mode.

Installation:

Program Guard consists of three components: a kernel module; a daemon; and a Gnome GUI user interface component. All files needed to build the components are in the pgrd.tgz file. An installation shell script install-pgrd is provided for Fedora distributions.

It will build/install (or remove) the kernel module and daemon as well as configure them to be started automatically when the system is booted. To invoke it, type install-pgrd < install | remove >. This script may or may not be useable as is for other Linux distributions.

If you modify the install script, please note that the module, daemon and various support files must be installed in the /opt/pgrd directory for Program Guard to work properly (this is already handled when using the install script as provided). To run in Query Mode, each user must be configured by invoking the install-pgrd_user < username > script. And by going to the Preferences->More Preferences->Sessions selection in the Fedora Main Menu and adding pgrdgui to the Startup Programs tab.

Program Guard will be started the next time the machine is rebooted. If you do not wish to reboot, you may start Program Guard manually as described below in Manual Starting And Stopping. Note: If starting manually and using Query Mode, once the daemon and kernel module are started, make sure that you log out and log back in.

P2P-Radio provides a peer-to-peer audio and video broadcasting system.
P2P-Radio is a peer-to-peer audio (MP3) and video (NSV) broadcasting system that features freeloader detection, stream signing, SHOUTcast support, an easy-to-use GUI, and a separate monitor application which displays the current structure of the P2P network.
P2P-Radio is programmed in Java and runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and many other systems.
Main features:
- Easy to use (graphical user interface)
- You can play the music/video with your media player (i.e. Winamp)
- A Shoutcast/Icecast Internet radio/TV station is used as audio/video source
- Freeloaders (peers that only listen but dont want to send the stream to other listeners) will be detected
- The data stream is signed, you can be sure that it arrives unchanged
- Very efficient communication (low overhead)
- The network structure can be viewed with a monitor
Enhancements:
- Signing of streams has been turned off by default in order to save CPU time (enable it with the parameter "-sign")
- P2P-Radio will only cooperate with a monitor if it was started with the parameter "-enablemonitor"
- Two parameters control whether the media player will be started:
- startmediaplayer: Start the media player in broadcasting mode
- dontstartmediaplayer: Dont start the media player in listening mode
