Gnutella: Gtk-Gnutella
built 124 days ago
Gnutella is P2P file sharing. It is used by many programs, including Mactella, Shareaza, GTK-gnutella, Gnucleus, Gnotella, LimeWire, BearShare, and iMesh. Gnutella2... known as "Mike's Protocol" is a different protocol which is based on Gnutella.
Gtk-Gnutella is a clone of Gnutella. It runs on every Unix which supports GTK+. Gtk-Gnutella is not finished yet, but it is fully functional: you may share, search, and download. It is stable too: users usually just leave and let it run unattended for days.

There are a number of free software programs that implement the Gnutella protocol, such as gtk-gnutella, mutella, and gnucleus. Please note... that none of these programs are officially GNU software either. GNU has its own peer-to-peer networking program, GNUnet, whose documentation includes a comparison of the protocols.
