    MuWire? I thought that was dead. The main dev blew a gasket over something and archived it. I see it’s out of archival now, but I do wonder what brought him back.

    I didn’t expect eMule and Gnutella to still be active, but probably didn’t know because I’m on Linux and their clients are Windows only. Others have pointed out linux builds that I somehow hadn’t found until now.

      By MuWire, I meant the network, not the software. I wasn’t aware it was being developed again, actually. Maybe the current political climate made the dev feel like his work was needed again. The network never died. I use Linux too. eMule and Gnutella both have Linux clients, but availability might vary from one distro to another. On openSuse Tumbleweed, we have aMule and GTK-Gnutella. Based on the IP addresses I see, they seem more popular in Europe than in the US.
