Open Source Mac Gnutella Software

Formerly entitled LimeWire Pirate Edition(LPE), WireShare is the newest fork of the original LimeWire open source project. Our sole intention is to create and maintain a bona fide continuation of the project. All work is undertaken on a pro bono basis. The name was changed for legal reasons.

A GTK+ Gnutella client, efficient, reliable and fast, written in C. It has been optimized for speed and scalability, with low-memory consumption. It is meant to be left running 24x7, using little CPU and only the configured bandwidth. It is possible to run gtk-gnutella without a GUI or using a shell interface.

Phex is a P2P filesharing client which connects to the Gnutella network. It is multi-plattform and malware-free. It offers advanced functionalities and integrates all common Gnutella extensions like multi-source downloads and advanced search features

Quazaa is a cross platform multi-network peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing client inspired by Shareaza which will support Gnutella2, Ares, eDonkey2000 (eMule), HTTP, FTP, and BitTorrent. Using the Qt software development kit

Skulls is a Multi-Network WebCache used from P2P clients to bootstrap. It support all versions of the GWC specification. It is used mainly for Gnutella/Gnutella2 but it can work with any network (after configuring vars.php). It use text files to store data so it doesn't require SQL.

Acqlite is Gnutella file sharing program based on LimeWire, Acquisition and Cabos. It is free software, no spyware, no adware. It provides simple interface, multi languages support, and iTunes + iPod integration.

A web cache written in PHP that implements the Gnutella Web Cache 1 and 2 Specifications. Beacon Cache can be configured extensively much more than other caches. Beacon Cache can be configured to work with any network now too!

Cabos is a simple, elegant Gnutella file-sharing servent (server-client) compatible with Windows and Mac. It is written based on LimeWire code in Java, with a customised front-end in Xojo. Cabos emphasises simplicity and elegance: its user interface and preferences dialogue are sleek and polished. It includes Mojito DHT support. Cabos is the continuation of a project also called Cabos and run by a Japanese developer nicknamed heavy_baby; he has since ceased development on it and redirected his attentions to Acqlite, another Gnutella client. However, Cabos should not fall into desuetude simply because the lead has other projects on his mind; this project is a resurrection and a homage. Like the original Cabos, this continuation is licenced under the GNU General Public Licence. Note: Cabos 0.8.2 and earlier for MacOS is 32-bit only. Cabos is free as in speech and free as in beer. We have a Mercurial repository, so you can work on the source any time! Happy sharing

Credence is a decentralized system for identifying spam and decoy files in peer-to-peer networks. Credence is a complete Gnutella client, built on LimeWire, that lets you vote on objects and filters junk files from your search results.

DeHinter is an enhanced file-sharing client that exploits the topology of the spontaneous communities of like-minded people to enable personalized social filtering techniques. The P2P layer is based on the Limewire Gnutella client.

Expandable Distributed Information Network, similer in function to gnucleus and freenet.

FiShNet is a P2P file sharing application written in Java. It has a server as well as client so that it can be used to create private file sharing network.

An Uber-lite, Cross-platform, 101% legal client for the Gnutella2(MP) file sharing network. It uses a white-list of file hashes and search terms to determine if a file is legal to download or not.

GnuMuse - Yet another gnutella servent. When finished, the GnuMuse will support the Mediahunter plug-in, being currently developed by an other group

An open Gnutella network library based on GnucDNA. It is platform-independent, developer-friendly and efficient, developed in portable C++. Easy enough for the casual P2P developer and advanced enough to satisfy the research project needs.

A Gnutella servent (server/client). Written to run cross-platform - Windows and (POSIX) UNIX. Modular UI - command line shell now, Win32 and X-Windows GUIs soon. Tries to use open source dev tools.

Modular Gnutella servent with GUI, text and batch interfaces. Developed using Java1.4 new I/O and networks APIs. Optimized for low-bandwidth and ADSL connections.

JTella is the Java API for the GNUTella network. Using JTella, Java based GNUTella tools and servants can be created, with JTella providing the network interface code.

Jockey is a framework API to abstract the details of a peer-to-peer network and/or a service location/invocation framework from an application programmer.

Distributed Desktop Search is the first attempt to enhance a wide-used file sharing software (Limewire) with the capabilities of a desktop search application, namely Google Desktop Search. The goal is to evolve from file-sharing to content-sharing.

LionShare is a secure P2P file sharing application.

MGnutella is a J2ME implementation of gnutella v0.6 p2p network protocol. It is in alpha stage now, which is not stable,not well tested and fragile. We are planning to develop both for devices supporting MIDP 2.1 and Android OS.

MediaHunter consists of a server/db software and a frontend plug-in for java gnutella servents. The server works like a cddb mirror and uses XML protocol for lookups, the plugin queries the server and manages searches and downloads on the gnutella servent

Newtsy is a web-based interface for the Gnutella network.

Open Direct Connect is a multi-protocol file sharing program that supports the protocol used by Direct Connect ( http://www.neo-modus.com/ ).
