Apollon

Apollon is a remarkable peer-to-peer file-sharing program that has been specifically designed for Linux operating systems. It uses the powerful giFT core to establish connections with various networks, such as OpenFT, Gnutella, and FastTrack. The OpenFT network is giFT's own network, whereas Gnutella is used by many popular file-sharing services like LimeWire and BearShare. Similarly, FastTrack is a popular network used by KaZaA. Apollon offers you the freedom to choose which networks you want to use via its plugin system.

Apollon's developers are constantly working on adding new features to the software. Currently, plugins for OpenNap and SoulSeek networks are under development. Apollon offers several notable features such as downloading and searching from multiple networks simultaneously, tabbed searching, preview of mp3 and videos (you must have kde-multimedia installed), system tray docking, and a chat feature for Apollon users. Additionally, Apollon is available in several languages, including Brazilian, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Serbian, and Spanish.

The software's settings dialog lets you configure giFT and your plugins, and its FirstRun wizard makes it easier for you to get started. Apollon's latest version comes with some critical updates, such as an icon addition for Ares and significant improvements for the search page. Furthermore, the all-in-one installer now includes an Ares plugin along with it, and several translation filenames have been fixed for release.

In conclusion, Apollon is one of the best file-sharing programs available for Linux users looking for a powerful and efficient solution for their file-sharing needs. With its remarkable features, intuitive design, and growing plugin library, Apollon is perfect for both casual and expert users.
