Peer-to-Peer Sharing
« on: 21 February 2003, 00:42 »
What's a good peer-to-peer file sharing program for Linux?  Any suggestions as to which is the best?

My college network has the p2p port blocked, and I may also need a good HTTP Tunneling program to accompany it.  Just trying to break any dependence on M$, and need some suggestions to do so :-D

Thanx everyonee

GTK-Gnutella.
i dont know what you mean by "the" p2p port... because there is 65535 different ports that you could be talking about... and gtk-gnutella can be set to use any of them (but any under 1024 will need to be run as root which is a bad thing)

I'm refering more to the ports that popular windows programs use, like Kazaa and iMesh, which use port 1214, I believe.  Anyway, the firewall here at school blocks these ports along w/ the public unreserved ports more than likely.  I'm going to need to find an HTTP tunneling program to disguise it as port 80 for transfer.  Is there anyway way I can do that w/ linux.
