gtk-gnutella - A great gnutella P2P server/client

Available for free for a variety of Linux platfoms as well as being easily compiled from source, gtk-gnutella is a great application if you are in need of a powerful, easy to use Gnutella server/client.

gtk-gnutella has features that make finding what you are looking for fast and easy, with an automatic filter that filters out a high number of the usual malware and spyware matches that always seen to come along with a file search on the Gnutella network.

I have been using gtk-gnutella off and and on for about two years now, having originally discovered it in the Ubuntu respostories when I first started using Linux.

I highly recommend you take a look at gtk-gnutella if you have been looking for a stable, easy to use Gnutella client for the Linux platform.

  1. You're so right! Gtk-gnutella is a great application which is very efficient. It works very well and with little RAM consumption and low CPU usage. No wonder, the application is written in C and is therefore highly optimized and system-efficient.

    I would also recommend gtk-gnutella to anyone on Linux wishing to access the Gnutella network.

    1. Well, according to the GTK-Gnutella website, the Mac version is out of date, but in the current version at least, selecting the incomplete download and then right clicking them will bring up a menu where "Abort" can be chosen, deleting the download.
