GTK-Gnutella - file sharing client

#1 Post by webfork »

I had something that I couldn't find anywhere either via legit or illegitimate roads so I came back to this. Note that download is north of 75 megs. It's the same old gnutella with loads of unintelligible settings and somewhat slow search component. Also, like old Gnutella, I did not find what I was looking for.

Steps:
  1. Run installer to Program Files
  2. Copy to another folder and uninstall
  3. Delete the leftover junk in program files
  4. Run GTK-Gnutella.exe
Status: Not portable. Writes to AppData and \USER\Documents

Other notes:

* A suggestion about using a -c argument from a few years ago didn't work
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/feature-r ... rsion.html

* The installer can be unzipped but complains about missing DLLs, hence the install/uninstall process above.

Also tested Java-based Phex with similar results, even trying to use the mucommander JAR trick.
