great p2p clients for linux?

[kroneko]

I'm just curious, does anyone have any suggestions for good p2p clients for linux (specifically mandrake). Specifically I'm looking toward a kazaa client of sorts, I realize that kazaa doesn't support linux anymore, but did anyone have any good luck with any other p2p clients? I've tried phex, and qtella. Also, has anyone found a hotline client for linux that works well? I tried one one a while back, I forget what it was called but it only let you use it for a half hour then copped out. Anyway, thanks for the help.

Hi,

The only one I've ever tried is Gnutella. It works well.
I removed it, because I didn't use it much and needed the room for other stuff.

OOPS!

Does anyone know of one similar to WinMX for linux? Thanks.

I read that there are some folks working on just that. Some as in a very few brave souls.

They're working on kazaa or they're working on a winmx? The only thing that's really been a problem I noticed, was that the way kazaa's servers are structured, searches are a lot quicker, and the downloads seem to be faster. Also it seems that kazaa connections are more stable. But perhaps that's because we don't really see all that's going on with the connection. That's one of the things that I didn't like about Linux before switching over completely, was that Linux doesn't have a Kazaa client that works. It was also a pain in that I had cable internet, and it would be a waste of bandwidth in that I wanted to download different things, but with gnutella clients, it's just pretty slow it seemed. Anyway, I was just interested in who's working on what right now.
