Heads up.

For those of you who can't find a really good Linux p2p network (minus torrents.) and don't mind using wine.

Give a look are Ares Lite. It's VERY nice..

Ever since I couldn't get WinMX to work at all anymore I decided to give other clients a shot and this is my favorite.

It installs with NO fuss (like WinMX used to.) and has an interface like Kazaa Lite used to and has tons and tons of stuff..

I know there will be a few dozen posts about aMule, xMule, gtk-gnutella and the like - trust me I know about them. :wink:

not exactly p2p but IrcLeech works nicely for me, for getting fun little pdf files as such

I use the uberly stripped down "lite" version for less over-head.

Yeah, great idea.

"This download includes adware bundled with the software's installer file."

I'll stick to something that I can see the source of. Or something like BeShare that I trust.
