GPU is rather a distributed computing client than a file-sharing system. Additionally, it is still in development. If you want a reliable file-sharing client, we recommend EMule or Gnucleus, both Open Source programs.

• Download
• GPU application (Windows XP/2000/NT/98/Linux with wine or VMWare) - with documentation




People who would like to run GPU on Linux download at best the Windows version and run it with wine or VMWare. Most things work fine, even the crawler engine. For example, unpack with wine GPU_setup_0.9xx.exe, choose as destination folder Y:\GPU and run with wine ~/GPU/gpu.exe & under recent Suse Linux, Debian or Red Hat versions.

If you want GPU to accept incoming connections, you should forward port 6346 on your router and make sure your firewall does not filter port 6346. Doing so, other GPUs will be able to connect to your machine, and more complex networks will arise, hopefully. If you need help, write us an email.
