    I did see this headline yesterday and then downloaded the 60 minutes segment using Nicotine+ which is a Soulseek client. I did look at an alternative to Limewire for linux called “Frostwire” but apparently it’s now just a bittorrent client, where it used to support Gnutella in the past. And finally I did find that the internet archive of course had a torrent available which I also got for good measure.

    EDIT: It was possible to get something with gtk-gnutella, but it was nowhere near as fast, nor did I get more than just one result. It may be more resiliant, but if nobody is using it..

      That’s cool! Unfortunately there’s not much people sharing files… Let me start gtkg and check it.

      but if nobody is using it…

      Someone needs to start it :-)
