gtk-gnutella - Open source GTK+ Gnutella client, efficient, reliable and fast, written in C
gtk-gnutella is an open source GTK+ Gnutella client, efficient, reliable and fast, written in C. It has been optimized for speed and scalability, with low-memory consumption.

gtk-gnutella is meant to be left running 24x7, using little CPU and only the configured bandwidth.

gtk-gnutella is a server/client for Gnutella. It runs on every Unix-like system which supports GTK+ (1.2 or above) and libxml. The GNOME desktop environment is not required.

gtk-gnutella is currently developed and tested under Linux (Debian) as well as NetBSD.gtk-gnutella is known to run at least on Darwin, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, OpenBSD, Solaris, Tru64 UNIX (OSF/1), SGI IRIX, BeOS whereas CPU architectures include x86, AMD64, PowerPC, SPARC, MIPS.

Main features of gtk gnutella:

  • Share files on the gnutella network (Limewire, BearShare, Xolox, Gnucleus, Shareaza, Morpheus ...)
  • Compressed GNet connections
  • Simultaneous downloading of files from multiple hosts (swarming)
  • Passive searches
  • Searching by urn:sha1: and magnet:
  • Automatic aquisition of additional sources via download mesh and watching searches
  • Powerful filtering engine
  • Bandwidth management/limiting
  • A lot of settings
  • A lot of statistics
  • Compliant to: HTTP/1.1, Gnutella 0.6 (Vendor Code GTKG and soon GNTD), GNet compression, BYE packet, HUGE (Hash/URN Gnutella Extensions), Ping/Pong reduction, PARQ (Passive/Active Remote Queueing), PFSP (Partial File Sharing Protocol), Vendor Messages
  • Ultrapeers, QRP (Query Routing Proposal), Push Proxies


    NOTE: gtk-gnutella is not finished yet, but it is fully functional: you may share, search, and download. And it is stable too, users usually just leave it run unattended for days.
