== BitTorrent ==

BitTorrent is an open-source protocol and there is already a client for it installed in Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) and Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger). For more information, see BitTorrent.

== LimeWire - gnutella network client ==

First, you need Java. If you don't have Java installed, check the RestrictedFormats page.

 1. Get the package:
{{{
wget -c http://easylinux.info/uploads/LimeWireOther.zip
}}}
 1.#2 Extract the package:
{{{
sudo unzip -u LimeWireOther.zip -d /opt/
}}}
 1.#3 Create a launcher in the /usr/bin directory:
{{{
sudo gedit /usr/bin/runLime.sh
}}}
 1.#4 Paste the following lines in the new document:
{{{
cd /opt/LimeWire/
./runLime.sh
}}}
and save the file.

 1.#5 Make the launcher executable:
{{{
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/runLime.sh
}}}

Type 'runLime.sh' to execute.

== DC++ - Direct Connect ==

First, you need to install the dependencies:
{{{
sudo apt-get install libatk1.0-0 libbz2-1.0 libc6 libgcc1 libglade2-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libpango1.0-0 libstdc++6 libxml2 zlib1g
}}}

Download the package:
{{{
wget http://www.studentdiscussion.co.uk/linux/dcpp_0.0.20060102cvs-1~loftx_i386.deb
}}}

''Note: this is a temporary URL. If you get "404 file not found" or some other error, check the howto thread for extra information.''

Install the package:
{{{
sudo dpkg -i dcpp_0.0.20060102cvs-1~loftx_i386.deb
}}}

The DC++ icon will show up in the Applications -> Internet menu.
