What's a good filesharing program of this kind (but with relevant search results) for Linux?

LimeWire runs off Java, so it's platform independent. |

Whatever you're searching, ask Hikaru if he's got it first.  |

I typically use gtk-gnutella, as it's the only client I've found for *BSD. Used to use Limewire for Linux, way back when. Oh, and I have that problem on occasion. Not a clue why it does that though. |

After doing a search on a song someone recommended I came up with some hits that were just disgusting. It's been sudo apt-get remove'd. I don't know if I want to go with LimeWire, firstly because of Java, but secondly because (IIRC) it's a gnutella client and I'm not sure I trust the service at all anymore. Tomorrow morning, direct connect runs the p2p gauntlet. |

Demonoid is great, but BitTorrent doesn't help everything... |

for generall p2p type stuff I use the giFT deamon and one of many clients for it (depending on what I'm doing). Connects to gnutella, fasttrack, openFT, and ares networks. and since it's a deamon you can run in in the background so if you ever need to restart X you don't need to disconnect  |
