Latest Release: 0.4.5
Current in CVS: 0.4.5
Mutella is a terminal-mode Gnutella client with an intuitive and easy to use interface. Initially written by Max for himself, Mutella has now been released to the general public for the benefit of all of us in need of a solid, high-performance client.
Mutella supports all the functionality required to participate as a full-featured node in the Gnutella network. "Full-featured" implies support for file search, download and sharing.
Optimized for a high-bandwidth connection, it sets standards for the server performance and stability. However, Mutella is also happy to run on a modest-speed line.
Have thick pipes - you may be of help to let us develop Mutella further!
Currently, Max, the main developer of Mutella is lacking an open broadband internet connection. If someone you you guys happen to have one along with some spare disk space and CPU cycles please go ahead and contact Max (maksik-at-users.sourceforge.net).
Thanks in advance,
