Pending posting in the repo,  here's a bz2 tarball containing mutella-0.4.3.dsl
  This might help those unable to run java-based gnutella clients like Limewire/Frostwire.  Not tested much.
  Salient points from the info file:
  -------------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes very slow to connect on first run -  takes 10-30mins on my connection, so be patient,  but once up it's fine. The knack to using this   seems to be learning both the terminal commands   (only need 'info' 'find whatever.mp3' 'get' and 'exit'   for basic use, and the web browser GUI for managing   downloads. Don't expect something as easy as Limewire-  Frostwire but it works and there's no java!    I've added fresh GWebCaches as there were no defaults.  When these die you can update them in the config file  from eg http://gcachescan.jonatkins.com/    See http://mutella.sourceforge.net/readme.php  for setting username/password to the GUI, opening the GUI  for remote connection etc.    I got carried away with the startup script and it will  get your external ip and set it in the config file, since  I had an idea that might speed things up.    Note mutella has a peculiar interaction with its config file  - you must use the 'set' cli command to affect most configurations  and mutella will overwrite some in the config file (eg IP) as   it pleases and not others, which need manual editing.    Built from binary rpm using aliendebs with debian dependencies   added.
