Are there any decent Peer To Peer clients working on Ubuntu

opena  command line and type:
gift-setup

the first question is teh most important, if you leave it 0 (default) 
the gift daemon will never run. also, when it asks about the plugins, 
make sure to include Gnutella if you want that, otherwise only the 
OpenFT network will be used. after that, giFTui or gifToxic should work 
fine. i think one of them will start teh daemon (giftd) if it needs to 
be, the other wont.

also limewire works fine and so does DC++.
