Which Gnutella client is the best?

John Blackbelt Jones · #21 (**permalink**) December 7th, 2001

For the command-line fans, there is a new client called mutella. I've been using it for a couple of days now and it is certainly promising.

My favourite features are excellent resuming capabilities, automatically researching and it parses all QueryHits passing through for the keywords it searches for.

It is certainly much better than the buggy linux kazaa client or gnut, although it does not support multihost downloads (which I do not care about anyway, since I'm online 24/7 and I don't mind waiting a day or two for a download to complete).

I think this poll should be renewed periodically, as user opinions may change, especially due to recent episodes (Xolox has been closed, the spyware debate, etc...)

okay, but I still use Xolox as my favourite Gnutella client.

I guess in a few weeks, Morgwne could start a new poll.....

2 Flexibility - It lets you tinker with more settings

3 Open Source - nuff said

4 System friendly - People dont seem to complain about it screwing up Windows

Reasons others may not want to use Gnucleus:

1 The latest version stinks - push is so broken, it just gives up trying. (V 1.3.5 was good, just dont let it evolve)

2 It crashes for some people, mostly Win2k it seems. I should add that I use Win2k and don't have any problems.

3 It's Not for dummies - no stinkin help files here

I absolutely agree with you

So let me get this straight, I can download bearshare and use the ad-aware program to eliminate the spyware? Does morpheus use spyware? What is the best program to use that doesn't involve spyware?

Spyware do contain the following Gnutella programs:

- Bearshare
- Limewire
- Swapnut
Also other P2P Programms (not Gnutella network):
- Kazaa
- Grokster
- AudioGalaxy

Just try anything else... to be sure run AdAware after install, happy sharing.
