Product Description:

MacPhex is a Gnutella client / server program written in Java 2. This double - clickable application is Phex ready to go for the mac. Starting it's life as Furi; It was renamed in case Furi is updated sometime in the future. It's what Furi would be if it was still updated. It has almost all the features Furi has, plus more. MacPhex runs on os X (native). It has all the features of Phex plus a late breaking news file to help keep you informed. A step-by-step how-to is in the makings for MacPhex.

What's new in this version:

You only need to download the update if you have a previous version of MacPhex.

GUI: When downloading a search result you can now select between a quick start of the download or a configuration dialog that allows you to set up the download configuration in an extended way.
GUI: Added 'Size' column to the shared files table.
GUI: A button to remove a search is available on the search screen.
GUI: The number of query hits is displayed in the list of searches.
GUI: The number of files shared and there total size is displayed in the share screen.
CORE: Rewritten Search freamework offers a better research algorithm to help you find your files faster and be more friendly to the network. Also searches are automaticly submited to new stable ( connected at least 60 seconds ) hosts until the search is stoped or times out ( auto re-search: 2 minutes, user search 5 minutes )(Sourceforge request #473488).
CORE: Full support for extended Query Hit Discriptors.
CORE: Support of the new Gnutella Protocol 0.6.
CORE: Improved loading of shared files in the background to keep the user interface from blocking.
CORE: An automatic check for MacPhex and Phex updates are done once a week and a notification dialog is displayed to the user. If a new version is available simply quit MacPhex and launch Update to automatically download and install the new update. CORE: Removed support for disabling sharing. Every user is supposed to share to guarantee a healthy network.
CORE: Improved performence of building query responses.
CORE: Improved file finding and error tolerance for upload requests.
CORE: Short timeouts for hosts that are in a private network ( yellow IP ).
CORE: The maximal number of hosts in the host catcher is raised to 5000.
FIXED: Wrong calculation of download/upload rate. The calculation is now based on a timestamp that is periodically refreshed.
FIXED: Problems when having search monitor enabled and displaying 0 rows.
FIXED: Very large download log window sometimes bigger then the screen. Sourceforge bug #476257.

This app. couldn't connect not even ONCE to ANY server. All connections are either refused, timed out, etc... Don't waste your time with it.

but with some creative packet sniffing I know whats wrong with it... its doing its handshakes wrong. I suggest the author get out a sniffer and check it out for themselves. it only connects to other 'broken' implimentations of gnutella here, or at the very least ones that are very forgiving (i.e. gnucleas)

Lovin' Mac

the choice of Java could depend - I'm not the developer so I can't know surely - by the fact that this progamming language is platform independent like Python and unlike others, that have been built for a specific platform (es. CocoaBasic). Consider that: Limewire is written in Java; Acquisition uses the core of Limewire; XNap is also written in Java; and all these apps are Gnutella clients...
