Symella v1.32 S60 SymbianOS

Symella is a Gnutella client for Symbian smartphones. Gnutella is a popular Peer-to-Peer file sharing network with several users from all around the world. (for PC Gnutella clients check this site).

Symella supports multi-threaded downloads which means that if multiple users have a particular file then Symella can download the file from several locations simultenously.

Symella is free (and open source) software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. We highly appreciate any help. If you like this software and want to support the development of Symella by making a donation, you can do so via PayPal.

Main Features

* Follows Gnutella 0.6 draft
Most things that could be solved on this mobile platform are in it. Handshake, standard Gnutella messages, Pong caching, connecting, querying, downloading (except Push messages). It doesn't have a sharing subsystem though, it has no sense having one on a small platform like Symbian - it concentrates on searching and downloading. It has no GGEP or HUGE implementation, just plain Gnutella messages.

* Uses GWebCache
As the draft suggests, it uses GWebCache, hostcaching and a primitive message caching to make communication easier.

* Search
Does the search by the book - collects files with the same hash into one result, resulting in faster download later.

* Swarming
Uses swarming technique for downloading - splits the selected file into more small parts, and downloads them simultaneously - faster and more effective than the one-threaded download.

* Multiple downloads
Only one search can be active at a time, but multiple downloads can run in the background, even from different searches.

* Open downloaded file
Open the downloaded file with the corresponding program, if available (MP3 player, picture viewer, etc)
