Salut pawelsz, while Phex is a nice cross plaform aternative, it is no where as advanced as the LimeWire project (and I'm talking about the network core, the one that matters for the health of Gnutella).
While I support Phex devs and I'm happy that they work to maintain viable alternatives, the LimeWire project is the one who is the most complete tested Gnutella client.
Phex is certainly not ready yet to overtake LimeWire or even the first version of FrostWire. However, it let advanced users more control over the app, so it's possible userbase isn't the same as FW or LW.
I wish the best to Phex team and I hope all the open source java Gnutella clients continue working together (hehe, that means LW, FW and Phex).
If you want to help the Phex project, any enthousiast can work on their wiki

Please choose something that is created from beggining as

That's the goal of FW, that was also for LW, but since they are a corporation and the RIAA is stoopid....

it's Free - free for price, and Free because released under GPL

So is LW and FW
Quote:

it's stable - PHEX is very mature project

On that point, we'll all agree that LW is much more mature, FW will get to LW level quite soon

it's unlimitd - PHEX is created to be Unlimited [you dont need to modify it to download some "warez" materials]
|
Freedom of users is the goal of FW, no software should think for their users

it exists - PHEX is HERE since few years, you dont need to wait for release - just go to http://phex.org/ and download it NOW.

Well since FW and LW are GPL, get the source and compile, voilà!

contain NO spyware, viruses, trojans and backdoors. [unlike many LimeWire clones]
