I love gtk-gnutella. I compiled it for Debian Woody (gtk1.2) and it is resource friendly and also user friendly. I don't have the skills (yet) to make a .dsl out of it but I run it on my 64mb machines while using Seamonkey and while playing with Xine all at the same time. A fine candidate for DSL extensions I think. Requires a lot less resources than LimeWire or FrostWire, as nice as they are.
EDIT: If you want gtk-gnutella 0.96.2 here it is. Maybe not yet ready for proper DSL extensions but maybe useful anyway, thanks to CBagger's deb2dsl. Install these:

libxml2.dsl:

gtk-gnutella.dsl

Just be sure to obey copyrights. :-)

Will try these; I tried the gtk-gnutella from the woody repo but it's old and appears to be broken.

Great job, Jason W, works :=)

To pack that into a single extension all that needs to be done is to combine the two files and do some trimming. A desktop icon might be nice.

If you want some help I'll oblige, send it to you and you can post it to the repo.

Ah well - guess my poor little mutella won't get much of a look in now, unless somebody particularly needs a gnutella client which can serve its GUI across a network/internet as a web page!

i think mldonkey might be easy compile. it's multi-network and has a web interface.

WDef,
I appreciate your offer to help package gtk-gnutella. If you would like to help make a .dsl out of it that would be great, and it would be your .dsl since you made it. I can make .debs but not .dsl, though I am learning. Here are the .debs.
