Il più efficiente client Gnutella

gtk-gnutella è un server/client per la rete peer-to-peer Gnutella. Funziona in Microsoft Windows, MacOS e ogni sistema operativo tipo Unix che supporta GTK+ (1.2 e oltre). L'interfaccia grafica GNOME non è richiesta. Attualmente è sviluppato e testato sotto Linux (Debian) e NetBSD. Funziona almeno sotto Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Darwin, Solaris, Tru64 UNIX (OSF/1), SGI IRIX, BeOS, con architetture delle CPU che includono x86, AMD64, PowerPC, SPARC, MIPS. E naturalmente Microsoft Windows (almeno XP).

gtk-gnutella è software libero e rilasciato con licenza GNU General Public License (GPL-2).

gtk-gnutella non è ancora completo ma completamente funzionante: puoi condividere, cercare e scaricare. È anche stabile, gli utenti di solito lo lasciano girare senza supervisione per giorni.

Questo sito è scritto in PHP, seguendo gli standard HTML5 e CSS3 e non utilizza cookies.

Idee e commenti sono benvenuti nella mailing list gtk-gnutella-devel. I bug devono essere inviati al Bug tracker su SourceForge.net

C'è bisogno di ulteriori collaboratori per lo sviluppo in C, la documentazione, la traduzione del software e la traduzione del sito.

25 February 2022, Version 1.2.2 Released

This is a maintenance release with major bug fixes.

There were several shortcomings with bandwidth management: capping was not performed correctly and could overuse uploading bandwidth. Also when the DHT is turned off or on, we need to recompute proper bandwidth stealing.

Corruption of the DHT disk databases could also lead to a crash.

There was a critical old bug in the Dynamic Querying layer that affected Ultrapeers mostly: we could corrupt memory and/or crash when the current node was removed and we were processing a Dynamic Query for that node. This is more likely to happen when running as an Ultrapeer but it could also affect nodes running as leaves, although the probability of that bug happening is much less in that case.

Finally, it is best to not iterate on a global list that could get changed due to a node removal. This was the case when sending pongs to neighbouring nodes, so we now take a private copy.

Improvements

• Extended "props" shell command with -e (exact) and -i (ignore missing).
• The "props" command now takes a set of properties, handled as one batch.

Bug Fixes

• Properly recompute bandwidth stealing on DHT changes.
• Avoid crashing in D-Bus lib when filename is improperly UTF-8 encoded.
• DHT: protect against corrupted database.
• bw_available(): fix invalid logic for I/O source capping.
• pong_all_neighbours_but_one(): iterate on local list.
• dq_node_removed(): must free dq object asynchronously.

Under the Hood

• Update IRC network information: moved from freenode to libera.chat
• Chunk size limiting for uploads accounts for bandwidth.
• Reduce memory footprint for statx_t if no data kept.
• CQ: defer freeing of dispatched event.
• watchdog: be more verbose within critical messages.
• node_parse(): signal to callers when we have BYE-ed the node.
• cq_event_called(): use better diagnostic on assert failure.
• dbus_util_send_message(): protect against invalid text.
• prepare_entry(): ensure entry invariant remains true.
• wd_expire(): do nothing if watchdog was asleep.

12 July 2021, Version 1.2.1 Released

This is a maintenance release with minor bug fixes.

Note that our project IRC #gtk-gnutella channel is now on irc.libera.chat.

When launching gtk-gnutella and there is a stale lockfile present, listing some PID, and it happens that there is already another process running under this PID, we abort, complaining that another gtk-gnutella is running. However, if the lockfile is really stale, and the PID listed in there has nothing to do with gtk-gnutella at the moment, the user will need to remove the stale lockfile. Hence we show them the command to run, listing the full lockfile path so that it is easy to overcome this little inconvenience!

When using hashtables for memory management, it was possible to trigger a resizing and, during the course of operations, have further memory used, requiring tracking of new items in the same hashtable we were in the process of resizing. That led to double VMM freeing of the region used to store the data.

Add properties to track bytes exchanged by schedulers. These properties track the amount of bytes exchanged by session and are reset to 0 whenever a new user session starts. It allows users to see the actual amount of data consumed by running gtk-gnutella sessions, programatically via the shell interface.

Add -t switch to shell "status" command: this displays the total amount of bandwidth consumed during the session for the different schedulers.

Improvements

• Show command to clean stale lockfile.
• Add properties to track bytes exchanged by schedulers.
• Add -t switch to shell "status" command.
• Make use of libera.chat instead of freenode.
• Expiration time now increased from 1 to 2 years.
• New --no-expire switch to disable GUI popup when expired.

Bug Fixes

• pattern_prefix_period(): don't corrupt end-of-block.
• Fix subtle recursive resizing bug.
• Do not emit empty leading description in saved properties.
• For time sync over UDP, write replying time later!
• hash_table_resize(): clear last cached lookup!
