gift is the best p2p program for Linux. It takes a little work but it is worth it.
the gift home page http://gift.sourceforge.net/

this is what you have to emerge

Code: Select all

emerge gift
emerge gift-fasttrack  
emerge gift-gnutella 
emerge gift-openft

gift (is the main program)
gift-fasttrack (iplugin for the KaZaA network)
gift-gnutella (plugin for the gnutella network)
gift-openft (plugin for the openft network this network is great realy fast)

Now you nead a frontend for gift. There are lots to choose from but only two that work well

Apollon (This decent KDE clients used to be KdeGiFT, good for KaZaA user )

Code: Select all

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge apollon

giFTcurs (Cursed frontend that has been described as "seriously slick". Currently the best client available, and therefore recommended)

Code: Select all

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge giftcurs

Now it has to be setup, run this command (you might have to be root)

Code: Select all

gift-setup

Just hiting enter will enter the default

the things I changed were
the firs choce I enterd

Code: Select all

plugins I enterd this

Code: Select all

OpenFT:Gnutella:FastTrack

selected a incoming folder

selected a completed folder

Now that it is setup you have to start it like this (don't have to be root)

Code: Select all

giftd -v

you might have to try this more than once. If this does not work than run the setup program agian and make sure everything is enter properly.

Now the frontend

Code: Select all

giFTcurs

or

Code: Select all

apollon

be pacent if you are not getting the result that you think you should, wait a little wile or restart gift that seams to solve the problem

If their are any mistakes pleas tell me and I will fix them. Pleas add tips about gift.

If you can add any tips about using it with a router/firewall that would help alot.

I am still learning alot when it comes to Linux. I am trying to give back to the forums. i hope this helps.

Another gift forum that might help http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php? ... ift+plugin

This is an excellent and comprehensive 'how to'. Unfortunately, I have tried the steps repeatedly resulting in failure. I had gift installed and working while running a 2.4.20 kernel. Even then I could only get the FastTrack plugin to work for me. There seems to be problem with one plugin working while the other doesn't. Entering the plugins 'OpenFT:Gnutella:FastTrack' will only allow OpenFT to work while FastTrack is 'Unable to start (no idea why)...' And Gnutella isn't trying to connect or isn't being requested to do so. When I change the order I enter the plugins while in 'gift-setup' i get different error messages. I can't get beyond

Code: Select all

giftd -v

. perhaps its the 2.6.1 kernel not agreeing with something else. I dont know but i will keep at it and let you know.

I've got giftcurs emerged, why won't it run?

Code: Select all

root@woody tjay # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge --pretend giftcurs

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] net-p2p/giftcurs-0.6.1-r1

root@woody tjay # giftcurs
bash: giftcurs: command not found
root@woody tjay #

Great documentation. You just made 2 slight errors.

In order to run giFTcurs you must type:

Code: Select all

 $ giFTcurs

and not:

Code: Select all

 $ giftcurs

Also, you don't need to be root to run

Code: Select all

 $ giftd -v

.

Again, great post!

I have been stumped over the plugin issue with giFT. Either one or more of the three plugins entered into gift-setup fails to start. Resulting in gift not being started. giftcurs emerged just fine as well as the three plugins. When I check the /usr/share ... directory everything is there. After running

Code: Select all

giftd -v

the plugin config files are gone. If anyone running a 2.6 kernel has something to add for support it would not only benefit me but add to this great documentation.

Same here. Right now, my OpenFT plugin isn't working, and the error message is not helpful at all.

Code: Select all

giftd -v

*bump* same as snakattack....some of the plugins fail to load

compuboy86 · Post by **compuboy86** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 5:50 am

Ok, I took out OpenFT in the plugin list and so far seems to be working

shade266 · Post by **shade266** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 7:36 am

I tried to omit one plugin or another as well but so far no go. I don't understand why portage isn't putting the config files where they need to go. I don't expect perfection by any means because then I would become bored with Gentoo. But after 80+ emerges and triple the sum of that in different configs it is growing tiresome. I complain now however, when I get portage and/or the plugins to behave I will add to the documentations.

MonkeyMartin · Post by **MonkeyMartin** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 6:30 pm

ToucanMan:

I mad the changes changes (thanks for the feedboack)

I can't help with the plugin problem, my first post is what worked for me.
this is what I did when I had problems

Code: Select all

1. run setup again
2. run this command giftd -v over and over 
3. look in /usr/portage/net-p2p and make sure you installed the newest version of gift and each plugin 
4. try installing the pogram again

I wish I could have helped. once you get it working you will be pleased.

crazedmodder · Post by **crazedmodder** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 11:00 pm

OpenFT is SUPPOSED to be there as one of the plugins (as said by the setup util). ALso, I'm not 100% sure but I think I remember seeing during setup that FT and Gnutella won't work at the same time (again not sure, but I think.)

Hopefully this might solve some plugin probs.

Also, after you actually get it working it's better (depends on how you look at it) to use

Code: Select all

gitfd -d

to start it, the -d means detached, so you can use the console for other things while gift is running, if done in a term you can close term wtv and it won't kill the deamon.

**Edit**
Also, when I installed it some of the other plug-ins needed to be configured. I'll look for what files and post back.

Ok I'm not sure, all I can find are templates in /usr/share/giFT/
I found a OpenFT conf file in ~/.giFT/OpenFT/

Check for those because I'm not sure if I used the templates to build the conf so I'm sorry I can't really help more

**Edit2**
I'm using 2.6.1 gentoo-dev-sources and that's pretty much what I did, I think it's the same.

**Edit3**
As of this post my giFT deamon starts, but the ui's can't connect...

**Edit4**
Sorry for so many edits, but it works now, before it couldn't access the libOpenFT, try running giftd -w as root and see if that helps

Arkanjo · Post by **Arkanjo** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 1:41 am

Works here almost out-off-the-box with OpenFT:Gnutella:FastTrack

FastTrack installed on a diferent path but that as all of my troubles

thanks for the How-to

Vishruth · Post by **Vishruth** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 4:09 am

What I did...

1.

Code: Select all

emerge -v gift giftcurs giftoxic giftui apollon

2.

Code: Select all

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -v gift-openft gift-fasttrack gift-gnutella

3.

Code: Select all

gift-setup

(went on hitting the return key for pretty much everything)

4.

Code: Select all

giftd -d

Both OpenFT and FastTrack work without any problems whatsoever. But gift never manages to get connected to the Gnutella network.

Apollon is really nice. But it's been doing a few weird things on my mostly Gnome desktop setup. To start with, it sometimes opens up 2 or more apollon windows when I hit startx... So I had to stop using it even though I loved its Kazaa-Lite like "preview" and "search more" features.

tactless · Post by **tactless** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 7:24 am

Here's what I do to run giftd:
First, create a user called giftd, and set gift up for him (gift-setup and all). Set the permissions on his download directories so you can access them (preferably - for a certain group).
Then I've created the following 3 scripts:

~giftd/bin/start-giftd: (chmod a+x)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

RETVAL=0

if [ -z `pidof giftd` ]; then
        giftd -d 2> ~/.giftd.pid;
else
        false;
fi

~giftd/bin/stop-giftd: (chmod a+x)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

if [ -e ~/.giftd.pid ]; then
        PID=`sed 's/.*giFT: //' ~/.giftd.pid`;
        kill $PID;
        if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                rm ~/.giftd.pid
        fi
elif [ -n `pidof giftd` ]; then
        kill `pidof giftd`;
else
        false;
fi

And finally:
/etc/init.d/giftd: (chmod a+x)

Code: Select all

#!/sbin/runscript

depend() {
        need net
}

start() {
        ebegin "Starting giftd"
        su - giftd -c "~/bin/start-giftd"
        eend $?
}

stop() {
        ebegin "Stopping giftd"
        su - giftd -c "~/bin/stop-giftd"
        eend $?
}

Then you might want to:

Code: Select all

rc-update add giftd default
/etc/init.d/giftd start

I had to do only one more thing....

gift-gnutella was installing all the files in /usr/share/giFT/giFT/Gnutella/
(i.e. Gnutella.conf) so, when running giftd -v, said that it can't find Gnutella.conf.
I had to move the Gnutella directory to /usr/share/giFT/Gnutella
this way giftd can find the .conf, but another problem appeared. It tried to copy the Gnutella.conf to ~/.giFT/Gnutella/Gnutela.conf, but it failed!. So I mkdir ~/.giFT/Gnutella/ and cp Gnutela.conf to that new directory.

The same problems happend to FastTrack, and of course, the same procedure solved it.

Thank you for posting all this info!.

Now I have to see why all my downloads get "Remotely Queued", I can't download anything. Or it says connection failed, or remotely queued.

any idea?

p.s. sorry for my english

another thing is, how do i start giftui once i get gift working?

wolf31o2 · Post by **wolf31o2** » Mon Feb 09, 2004 4:55 pm

It looks like gift *is* working... it usually helps to run it in the background... then run your UI app in another console/window...

cram · Post by **cram** » Mon Feb 09, 2004 10:50 pm

To summarize some of the posts above, your ~/.giFT directory should contain subdirectories called OpenFT, Gnutella, and FastTrack. These directories should contain OpenFT.conf, Gnutella.conf, and FastTrack.conf respectively. Also, the OpenFT directory should have a 'nodes' file, and Gnutella should have a 'gwebcaches' file.

If any of these direcotries do not exist, create them manually, then copy the appropriate files from /usr/share/giFT/<plugin>/ or /usr/share/giFT/giFT/<plugin>.

edit: fixed a typo

I can't seem to get searches to work. I've had this problem for quite a while. First, I emerged the stuff with portage. Then, I unmerged it all, deleted my .giFT directlry, and installed the full apollon package. It seemed to install a later version of giFTd, but I still have the same problems.

Here's my output, or at least part of it. After this, it generally keeps on finding bad sockets/timeouts. Please help! By the way, I'm running a firewall, but I'm not supposed to be functioning as a search node. Do I need to forward any ports? I already forwarded the ports in the giftd.conf file.
