Do you know about a small p2p program that is small, do not need java or other huge libs, and fits to puppy. It's important with a userfriendly gui as the user is complete newbie.

Opera 9 would maybe solve this topic?

the smallest one I know:
Mute
http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=7388

Still somewhat huge due to libwxgtk, but just 1/10 of Java.

When we talk about p2p and java dependencies, do we then talk about Dotpup - Sun java 1.5.0 (17 megs compressed) or pupget java-jamjikescairo (9 megs compressed).

What is the difference?

I just tried azureus with Suns JRE, which is 80 MB after installation.

I did a search on freshmeat.net and came up with 'transmission' which I have packaged into a dotpup (from rpm) and attached below. The source code is available on the homepage but that requires 'jam' instead of 'make' so I took the shorter route (at least for now). See links and screenshot for more details.

Homepage
Freshmeat project page

This program requires libcrypto.so.5. I think puppy has libcrypto.so.0.9.7 (at least mine did, but i have all kinda xxxx.sfs files loaded). To satisfy this dependancy do the following (assuming libcrypto is alread in puppy)

ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.5

After installing the dotpup, you can run transmission via Start -> Dotpups - run-transmission.

Let me know how well (or not) it works.
