NEW Phex 0.9 BETA build 39 released.

[GregorK]

This BETA release is a major step in the Phex history.
Not only does it come with a new security concept including a hostile host list and improved statistic tracking. It also gives Phex the ability to become a Ultrapeer on the Gnutella network.
There are still some minor known issues with the connection count and the Ultrapeer election. But it gives you an impression of what you can expect!

You can get it from the Phex homepage:

Or directly here:

Wow, that's it. This brings Phex back to life! Now I've got connections and query hits again.

There is one drawback. In the past there were "filtered hosts" and "invalid hosts", they were behaving differently. Now they are equalized and I can't select something else than "deny" in the rules. We need more options here (individually selectable): e.g. "filter query results", "do not connect (always push)". Then it should also be possible to integrate "filtered ports" into the rules.

This version works as well as BearShare for me.

I've always followed Phex, and wanted to use an open source/free gnutella client, rather than a BearShare-like one, but after some initial success, Phex hasn't really competed with BearShare/WinMX/etc.

Now it does!

Phex is again my first choice in Gnutella clients!

Thanks for a great product, Gregor!
