Did you try giFT? It is a open fastrack clone (like
morpheus,kazaa,grokster). Search for it on freshmeat it is really great!

How did you persuade it to actually compile? I happily installed
it with gentoo, but I'd prefer to have the server part on
the, well, server, as it were. However, both the tarball from
sourceforge and the one that gentoo uses produces an error when
running the configure script ("syntax error near unexpected token
`AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(giFT,'").

Seems I'm missing some other stuff as well, running aclocal tells
me "macro 'AM_PATH_GTK' not found in library". Sigh. Give me rpm
dependancies any day rather than this crap. :)

I'd appreciate it if anyone with a clue had a hint for me. Since it's
getting rather off topic, perhaps an email would be appropriate..

tia.

Turns out it was an rpm dependancy. *grin* Re-installed glib-devel
and gtk+-devel which I had previously cleaned out in a splurge of "I
don't need it, so it goes away". Now, as to why an application with
a serious lack of a gui would need a gtk-macro to automake, I do not
know. Developers work in mysterious ways?

Sorry about the interruption, we now return you to the usual
flame^Wnicey-nicey-place that is cola.

It was marked as "broken" in the FreeBSD ports collection.  I think
E-donkey might be very fast-track like.

Edonkey doesn't come with a cli for easy ssh access tho.. Start the
server thingy nohup, start some downloads with giFT-shell, log out.

Too bad there are so many illegal things being shared, it's so hard
finding all the legal content which you're really after with these
things. Shyeah..

Well the core itself provides CLI, if you start it without the "- !" to
put it into remote-control mode.   It's not all that pretty though, and
I wouldn't mind an ncurses front-end in addition to the GUI.

Perhaps I should look before I speak. ;)

giFT does have such a front end tho, as you may be aware. Works nice
too, but I haven't figured out how to tell it to download more than
one file at a time.
