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

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)
