== 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.

== gtk-gnutella ==

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/
sudo dpkg -i GTK2_gtk-gnutella*.deb
}}}

== 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://newstuff.orcon.net.nz/ubuntu/dcpp/dcpp_0.0.20050809cvs-1~mird_i386.deb
}}}

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

Install the package:
{{{
sudo dpkg -i dcpp_0.0.*_i386.deb
}}}

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

== Amule - eMule client ==

First, add extra repositories. If you don't know how, go to AddingRepositoriesHowto.

Install the client:
{{{
sudo apt-get install amule
}}}

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