giFT P2P Sharing Deamon
Posted: Fri May 14, 2004 1:17 pm
I have just finished setting up giFT. This is a program that allows access to file sharing networks like FastTrack, Guntualla and OpenFT. The benift of this program is that the network access is provided through plugins. Thus you can have one program that connects to all of the P2P networks.
giFT is just the server section of the program. It requires a Client in order to search and download files. There are many available. I have installed two so far. Apollon, and giFT-UI. I like Apollon better.
As a side note here are the current Network Stats:
FastTrack:
Users: 3.0 million
Files Shared: 755.6 million
Total Size Shared: 9.6 million GB
Gnutella:
Users: 96.9 thousand
Files Shared: 387.4 thousand
Total Size Shared: 1.5 thousand GB
OpenFT:
Status: Connecting...
Yah, go figure, the OpenSource one is down!
