Well when you downloaded giFT if you had read the homepage you would see that giFT is broken at the moment because kazaa who operate the FastTrack network used by Morpheus and grokster have deliberately locked them out. They are now busy creating a completely new filesharing network. If you have been following developments at Morpheus recently, you will have heard that Morpheus and kazaa have had a disagreement, and now Morpheus are locked out of FastTrack too! Morpheus have now adopted gnutella as their file sharing protocol, and gnutella is probably the best way for you to share files also. There are several Linux gnutella clients. The best known is Limewire. It is a java application, so you will need a working java environment. good luck derek (BTW: You will find on starting Limewire it does not find many files you search for at first. The searches get better and better the longer the client is running)
