My 64 bits linux installation is currently out of order (hard disk problem) so I can't test it.

And indeed, most of the current 64bits distributions provide 32bits libraries if a program (like ut2k4 :) need it. But in my opinion, I see no interest in running 32bits programs on a 64bits OS using an emulation layer. It would be more interesting to run directly a 32 bits Linux.

You can't specify priority for your insertions / fetching. It doesn't allow users to sort their files in differents groups as Fuqid does. After some times, the file lists you announce on Frost will disappear. My tool will help the user to maintain a file list where any other user will be able to do searchs (it includes word searchs inside documents). > >> > Some people put forward already some names on IRC, for example: > >> > "freeshare", "jeefree", "freezilla".
