Greetings


In the aur repos... I was looking for a gnutella client that i like (and, i love arch linux, because the aur repository), so i've started trying all the gnutella clients i found in the aur.

Best regards,

Manifest0

p.s.: It's possible to integrate the bitcolider with phex? I'm new to gnutella, and mostly of the files, doesn't have bitzi tickets, and 90% of this files are fakes... :'(

p.p.s.: I've never found a phex user... It's mainly limewire users... Damn!

It's great to know, that Phex is in the Slackware packages!

Having BitCollider in Phex would indeed be great. We'd just need someone to implement it...
That's one more reason, that the Phex Team seeks Java Programmers at the moment: http://wiki.phex.org/Developers_Wanted

Our estimates are, that there are about 6.000 Phex users at the moment.

If you want to see Phex users now (at least one...), just have a look at the Polar Skulk.

Greetings!

It's not slackware linux, but Arch Linux and here's the aur (ArchLinux User-community Repository) repo.

Arch Linux it's IMHO some kind of an cousin of slackware (with decent packet management), and Gentoo.

Thanks for your advise... i'll try polar skulk in 10 minutes...

I don't know, how I got to Slackware... must have been some mind mangling

Besides: Gentoo running here
Besides: I just opened a thread about the OS', Phex is being used on. Maybe you want to join in

Greetings,

It's possible to have the ability to create a magnet link only from the selected library files? It seems phex only create magma lists from the entire library...

Not yet. We need someone to implement it, because our programmers are head over heels in coding stuff at other places in Phex at the moment.

I added it to our wishlist:

thank you!

i've another suggestion!

How about blocking a file based on the SHA1 sum.

Most of the internet users have dynamic IP's so, IMHO, blocking an IP isn't very efficient (comparing to the SHA1 blocking).

Also when blocking an IP instead of having a fixed time limite, an dynamic time limit would be nice (example: blocking an IP for 7 days should mean if in the next 7 days there isn't no hit the IP should be unblocked. If there's a hit in that time period should be extended).

Greetings!

You can do that manually at the moment through the filter-system, but it isn't very easy to do.

But it also wouldn't accomplish that much, because spammers partly use files with bogus sha1 keys.

With dynamic blocking: How can you determine, that the one hit wasn't an actual hit?

Apart from that, the idea seems good to me, though I don't know how easy or hard it is to accomplish it.

I also would appreciate a notification system, that indicates to the user when something has changed (like a finished search, or a complete download).

Best regards.

I'd like to see a binary for Mandriva 2008.

I have never been able to install it from source code

Cheers

Mandriva got rid of every p2p client which isn't a torrent client.
For phex in mandriva you need to:
install java
donwload the phex .jar file

run: $ java -jar phex.jar (you can associate this in kde or gnome so every time you click the phex.jar file the "java -jar phex.jar" command runs)

Best regards,
Manifest0

Thanks a lot

I'll try this and post back if something wrong happens.

Regards

Luis

Yes it works as you explained

I really like the interface... clean and neat.. althouh I could never close the app to the systray, however it's a great app.

I hope soon is in my native language (Spanish) and also hope in a near future , ALL the java devs/coders write an applet where we users can increase/change the size/style of the fonts. This is something that stoped me to use limewire/frostwire (so hard to read in my 1680x1050 monitor

Kind Regards

Luis


EDIT Where can I get an icon for my Desktop?

What do you mean with an icon for your desktop? A menu entry? A shortcut?
I suppose you want a .desktop file:
1- Open a text editor an write something like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=3.2.0.102
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=phex
Comment=Free file sharing program running on the Gnutella Network.
Exec=java -jar /path/to/phex.jar
Icon=/PATH/TO/ICON
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network
StartupNotify=true

3- save the file with name phex.desktop
4- place the file in your desktop folder and you will have a nice shortcut in your desktop
5- for a menu entry you have to look in the internet. (you have to put those .desktop file in some specific location)

btw, you've edited my quote... :P
