| Hi all,
Could someone please recommend a good piece of peer to peer filesharing
software. Something that is annonomous and encrypted would be best, but
anything that works well would also be good.
Thanks in advance,
Tony.

Gtk-gnutella, limewire, apollon, and the giFT clients seem to support
anonymous file-sharing, but don't have encryption.
Although Gaim is an instant messenger, it can probably be used for
file-sharing, and the gaim-otr plugin allows Gaim to support encryption.
I've used both gtk-gnutella and limewire, and I think limewire is better.
To search for giFT clients, issue these commands:
aptitude search '~Pgift-client'
aptitude search '~dpeer to peer'
Limewire (a gnutella client) is not in Debian, but you can get it from
Limewire.com. Look at the wikipedia page on gnutella to get a list of
other gnutella clients.

I found that and downloaded "frostwire-4.13.2.i586.deb"
OK now what? Unpacking gives me:
control.tar.gz
data.tar.gz
debian.binary
On the webside there is "click istall.exe" for windows
but for Linux where the commands for installing a package
is different each and every time there is NO info :-)

To install a .deb package manually, you run "dpkg -i foo.deb" as root
(where foo.deb is a the package name) or install 'gdebi' and you will be
to double-click on the .deb to install it.

Read this:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/r...e/index.en.html
Try to read the entire document. Save it to disk and read it offline (if
you're on dial-up).

Files that end with .deb are installed using the dpkg utility. Delete
control.tar.gz, data.tar.gz and debian.binary. Then install frostwire
using dpkg:
dpkg --install frostwire-4.13.2.i586.deb
I hope this helps.

I think you'll have to read the website/get in touch with the program
authors. Unless anyone here uses it or wants to install it, there is
little we can help with beyond how to install the package.
The website does suggest you require Java on your machine - do you have
Java installed? Package "sun-java5-jre" is available from the Debian
'non-free' repository.
You might be able to get more information about what is happening by
running 'frostwire' from a terminal window
(Application->Accessories->Terminal).

I use Mint linux, wich is based on Ubuntu Feisty, which is based on Debian.
I just installed Frostwire with synaptic, I think it is in the Feisty
commercial repository, which is included by default in Mint.
Mint is about the same as ubuntu, but it has a number of things
installed by default (audio-video codecs, commercial repos,...)

That was it, I installed the Java package and it works!
Thank you
