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.
