I was wondering if there were any file sharing apps for Linux. I tried out MUTE but I can't get it to work. Thanks for any help.

DC++ ?

Do you have to compile it yourself or something, because on SourceForge it says that DC++ is a Windows only program.

Isn't there a windows emulator in linux ? :blink:

Well, there is Wine which is a WIndows emulator, but I don't think it can handle installers.

in Linux you have qtella (QT interface for gnutella network), overnet (www.overnet.com, download te linux command line prog and then the GUI (wich is called ed2k_gui

the overnet binary I believe is precompiled, not sure.
the ed2k_gui:

untar using
tar -xvfz ed2k_*.tar.gz (if it is a .tar.bz2 use j, or was it the other way around, damn I never remember those things :P)

cd ed2k_*

./configure
make


for simplicity leave it there and dont install.
the binary is located in ed2k_*/ed2k_gui/
(the * is a wildcard, use it because the dir name is too long to remeber or type)

this is, as far as I have seen, teh best p2p thing for linux
ther eis also bittorent, but I didnt quite figured that out
