Cabos

A simple, comprehensive and quick Gnutella client.

The Gnutella networks is one of the most used P2P networks worldwide, specially for multimedia files like singles songs and videoclips.

  Part of its success is due to applications like LimeWire or Acquisition, each one of them with its virtues and defects. Cabos is an open source project that unites the best of these two applications, being completely free and without having any publicity included.

  Cabos comes with a simple window, that is completely functional and intuitive. It takes very little to connect to the network and download the files at a rather good speed.

  It integrates into iTunes and Apple devices like iPod and iPhone, so that in an instant we will be able to enjoy in the multimedia player of the songs downloaded by means of Cabos.

  By means of the Investigate function, it allows us to access the library of the user that is offering a specific file, something that makes it a lot easier to discover new groups and new albums from someone that we share music taste with.

  What is really surprising are the few of the computer's resources that this program uses. We may miss some of the features offered by other Gnutella programs, like the possibility to download torrents, but it is always advisable to have a tool that is exclusively designed for a specific P2P protocol.

  One of the best applications for the Gnutella network, what's more, it is open source, very light and has a laudable download speed.

  Requirements: This download requires Java 1.4.1 or above.
