Try Apollon with the plugins for OpenFT, Gnutella, FastTrack and Ares. I feel 
it is one of the best out there.

I use gtk-gnutella for Gnutella and Azureus for BitTorrent.

It does have the usual problems of a Gnutella client (junk files on the
network and such) but it's a nice program nonetheless.

Yes!  Thanks for asking!

Hope this helps,

Not if you've ever used aMule--- but El Nino asked for a p2p client with
*Gnutella support* so I see your point.

However, the Donkey client on MlDonkey is so close to death (you'll get
errors from servers that refuse to connect, saying that your client is
too old please update, even if you have the most recent 'free' version--
it took me *ages* to figure out that this essentially meant 'switch to
aMule, you dope!'), that one might as well just use a dedicated Gnutella
client rather than something like mldonkey, which is supposed to support
multiple networks, but didn't seem to in fact do so (didn't try gnutella
support, but I couldn't get the torrent support to work at all, meaning
that mldonkey accepted torrents for download, but could not connect to
trackers or clients), and whose 'native' network seems to have reached
its eol.

In this case, multi-protocol clients do not seem to be preferable to
multiple clients, each one dedicated to whatever network you use.

Well, one counter testimonial to that. ~x86 mldonkey has been running 
24x7 on my machine for years, literally, without any problems. It 
connects fine, I get no old version error messages, #mldonkey is 
helpful, development is active and i'm starting to move my bittorrent 
downloads to it as well. Bittorrent support does not include the 
advanced functionality that Azureus does, but for basic BT and ed2k, 
it's excellent.


Plus, the authors themselves file and fix bugs on bugs.gentoo.org

cheers,

AKS
