Gift: fast, strong, OpenSource Fasttrack client



Here's something to keep an eye on, GiFT, software that is able to speak the language of KaZaa and it's clones, but it's opensource. The KaZaa software is based on a protocol developed by FastTrack, and this is based on the Gnutella protocol, so now central servers and a lot of files to download.

GiFT is a free linux client that has no ads/spyware, no search limit and they hope to create a lot more new features. For now only Linux users can use this client so I wasn't able to test it myself, but this software is very promising and another sign that filesharing can't be stopped !



12.What are the project's/your goals?

Our goals are: (by priority/precedence)

  • Free, free, free, make everything for free!
  • Understand the Fasttrack search

    protocol.
  • Implement a library to generating search requests on the Fasttrack

    Network.
  • Write client software (for different platforms) to share files (download/upload)

    on the Fasttrack Network) (Emulate

    and surpass Kazaa/Morpheus.)
  • Document the protocol, and our client's functionality. Make the sources

    available to the public in a portable form.
  • Make the programs/source/documents accessible to everyone (for FREE

    😉

    For now it might not be intresting for a lot of people, but keep an eye on it ! This might be next best thing !
