phex - Gnutella File Sharing made simple

Phex is a peer to peer file sharing client that looks a lot like Shareza on Windows, but with a few features that make it even nicer. Phex is java based, so it can be run on multiple platforms. SuSE Pro comes with a java virtual machine, so starting phex is simply a matter of typing in:

java -jar phex.jar

If you haven't run a java program before, the -jar prefix is used to run phex.

Phex can be downloaded from:

There is also a Windows executable available on the download page. Don't forget to unzip (not tar.gz) the Linux version:

unzip phex_2.2.0.83.zip
