I've just switched to linux yesterday, and now I'm wondering if there are any good alternatives to limewire, shareza, ect. I could only find one topic about this through searching, and it didn't seem to help much.

Re: p2p or filesharing programs
there are plenty of linux p2p apps (most of them in the repos)
gtk-gnutella, frostwire - alternative to limewire
amule - for eDonkey network
linuxdc++, valknut - DC++
apollon - gnutella and OpenFT networks
ktorrent (installed by default, i believe), azureus - torrents
and probably others i can't think of right now

Re: p2p or filesharing programs
my highest recommendations would be:
amule
ktorrent for bittorrent<br />

Re: p2p or filesharing programs
Every time I try to load up the server list on amule it crashes, I've got ktorrent but every time I try to download a movie or video it says it's encrypted and can't open, and I can't find frostwire in the adept catalogue thing but I don't know how install stuff on linux without that, because I'm so used to windows and it's executables.Comment

Re: p2p or filesharing programs
if you click (direct link)
http://www.frostwire.com/download/?f...u&sid=57491847
that will download the .deb installer file, it should work just like your windows .exe's
it will open up the package installer and install just as installsheild would and then its done! easy as!Comment

Re: p2p or filesharing programs
I click it and it opens up as an archive, I extract the stuff to desktop, and I click the "debian binary", and it opens up a kate document that just says "2.0" in it and that's all. nothing else happens. =/Originally posted by gm04030276Comment

Re: p2p or filesharing programs
try right clicking and open with package installer. it will only work if you do it with package installer (there may also be a command line way of doing it but i don't know how!)Comment

Re: p2p or filesharing programs
For reference, the command to install local packages is "sudo dpkg -i [package]".For external use only.Comment
