Gnutella client name...

I'm currently trying to figure out a name for a gnutella client that I'm working on.

The target platforms are as follows:
Windows,
Linux,
MacOS X,
and {Open|Free|Net}BSD initially.

It is to be portable and easily modified. The GUI is to consist of a plugin. The protocol handler will eventually be moved to a plugin and the file database will consist of a plugin (for possible use with external database software like MySQL or PostreSQL).

The client will be free software (as defined by the Free Software Foundation) and is only being worked on by me (initially, this can change once I have at least released one version on my own).

Things that might be helpful in determining a name:

I usually go by the nickname 'errorlevel'. I have a weird fascination with the word "Moo". (I was considering using "Mootella" but iI feel it is too similar to "Mutella" which is already taken.)

Other names that I have considered using are:
tuxtella
tuxshare
errella
ertella

Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

Regards,
Jared Lash

Well, call it Cow-A-Bunga :)
Weird fascination? Mooo! :D
Maybe you should just replace your programname with a placeholder and code on, I think the name can be taken care of later, right?

I'd just like to put a name to the entity. :)

Hello!

Why not also make a version that are compatible with JRE 1.1.8 and the Classical Mac OS platform that I use?.

I know that Apple has pronounced Classical Mac OS dead but that is not true still many more users are using Mac OS 9.X then Mac OSX so you should try to make a Classical Mac OS version to.I think that Mac OS 9.X has another couple of years to go before it goes truly dead.

Suggestion for a name?

How about:

Gnutella Mood
Mooch(Go drifting around)
Moonlighting(As in extra job)
Moonumentella
