Tired of sitting for hours in front of gnutella?
 

Just like everyone else, I used to sit there manually manipulating my downloads for hours, then I had a idea and now NapShare is fully automated!

You give it a few keywords and it searches & downloads all night, sharing whatever it gets.
You help the network by leaving it on all night, and get a lot of files back!
It tries to act just like a human does when searching and downloading, trying to be nice to the network.

Check it out!

Windows users: Gtk somehow runs on windows, but I never had the time to figure it out, so if you figure it out let us all know!

Hours in front of Gnutella, what are you talking about?
I just let my Gnutella client do this, Xolox, Limewire, Phex.... etc....

So is this worth gettin linux for? what is best linux red hat? how hard is the setup? will i be able to get web pages too? what about email? will pop up ads go bye bye? any real good reasons to convert over? is it faster? any good games yet?

Hi!

If you have enough harddisk space use both Windows and Linux!

I use Suse Linux, which is very popular in Germany!

Morgwen, is it working fine on Suse? Any compile problems? I tested red hat and it works fine on that both compile and RPM versions. Will Suse use a RPM? does that work?

Winmuck, it's always worth getting Linux set up on your computer. I went to a friends house the other day and watched him do all the silly things I used to do on windows. Like worrying about how many windows he had open, or running too many programs at the same time, worrying about crashing and all. Plus a few restarts while I was there, it was funny. I forgot all about that I had to put up with, it's not worth it.
If you want to run a Gnutella client 24/7 without worries, this is the way to go. Plus the new versions of Linux have easy firewall setups if you are worried about that sort of thing, and full office suites for free.

Moak, you should really try NapShare's automation, I think you will like it. Let me know what I should add to it and what you use it for, file size and keyword/ list lengths so I can add some more code in there, the code is very basic right now. I am considering some filter options for it right now.

ya, but can you play all latest games?;)
this is what it's all about.
if it wasn't for games i'd running linux 24/7

Morgwen, did you try Napshare... what is your impression?

Honestly I have to say the GUI screenshot looks complicate for a grafic interface, so I didn't try it, sorry. About mentioned automatisation, what are the highlights? I'm allready used to search & click & forget... then come back hours/days later and files are done (automatic resume and finding alternative download locations).

Well, if I could listen to Webradio, hear a great new song... enter the band name and Napshare does download all songs from that band the next days? This would be an extremly awesome (!) feature I ever waited for (and is still my highest motivation to write/modify a own Gnutella client). About RPMs, Suse uses RPM too but has different dependencies and file paths.

Greets, Moak

Not yet!

But if I have some time I will sure test it... I will test mutella, gtk-gnutella etc. too!

Actually I spent much time for testing PEERanha! Hope we will see it soon! :)

Anything has to be better than the new LimeWire,I used to be able to download anything with above average success.But anymore,LimeWire has become so undependable that even WinMX has become a better alternative.

just checked NapShare 1.0 on SuSE 7.3 .... compilation works fine and also the program runs fine.

Hm the automation thing is nice but still under development? I mean is there a sense to search for something an dowload EVERYTHING you find with this query? You definitly need a a lot of diskspace ...

And then, of course you have to sort everything you downloaded ...

From the GUI ? I prefer Qtella ;)
