Gnucleus is an open-source Gnutella client for windows. Easy, free, and powerful, nothing is held back from the user. Most notably 1.6 offers users multi-source or ’swarmed’ downloading from the Gnutella network. A file can be downloaded from a variety of Gnutella clients simultaneously, in effect improving the overall speed of the download. This is the change log for 1.6:
* Multi-Source Downloading (Gnucleus can swarm from all Gnutella clients
* Chunk corruption management by grouping hosts into compatible families
* Ability to resume partials and its associated chunks
* New system revises communication between the network and the GUI
* More robust IRC cache system
* Revised network hashing and routing algorithms
* Internal browser now has web surfing buttons
* Shared directory watched for changes
* Fixed Windows NT and 2000 problems
* Fixed evolver bug
Gnucleus comes in two modes that can each be downloaded from http://www.gnucleus.net . There is an internet mode, for accessing the global Gnutella network, and there is a LAN mode, for colleges or businesses that wish to set up a Gnutella network of their own.
Lately because many colleges block file sharing entirely, Gnucleus LAN has become very popular. There are many universities around the world now running with Gnucleus powered internal Gnutella networks. Where I am we have 200 users on the internal LAN, but just the other day I received an email from a college with over 1,200 people running the LAN version with over a terabyte shared total. Simply amazing, remember the LAN version costs a university zero internet bandwidth.
Thanks for the support from your web sites, I am happy to add links to your sites from http://www.gnucleus.net . Development continues, always working on the next version.
