You can find `gtk-gnutella` in the Universe repository; however, the latest version includes the most up-to-date list of Gnutella servers and is thus guaranteed to connect properly. To install `gtk-gnutella`, visit its [http://gtk-gnutella.sourceforge.net project page] and click on "Download", which will lead you to the download link on Sourceforge. Click "Download" next to the latest (or only) release, then choose the .deb file starting with "GTK2_gtk-gnutella".

When you have the .deb downloaded, open a terminal and type:
{{{
cd /path/to/download/folder/
