== Azureus - bit torrent client ==

First, you need java. If you dont have it, check this wiki page out:

Once you have java installed, type, in a terminal:
{{{
sudo apt-get install azureus
}}}

Refresh the gnome-panel by typing "killall gnome-panel" and the Azureus icon will show up in the Applications -> Internet menu.

== LimeWire - gnutella network client ==

Coming very soon

== DC++ - Direct Connect ==

First, install the dependencies:

}}}

Download the package:
{{{
wget http://newstuff.orcon.net.nz/ubuntu/dcpp/dcpp_0.0.20050809cvs-1~mird_i386.deb
}}}

Install the package:
{{{
sudo dpkg -i dcpp_0.0.20050809cvs-1~mird_i386.deb

Execute "dcpp" to run the program. If you refresh the gnome-panel (killall gnomepanel in terminal) there should now be a DC++ menu entry in Applications -> Internet.
