Download Phex 3.0.2

Various networks and applications have been developed over time for exchanging files, such as the Gnutella network on which a number of different applications are active. Phex uses this network and is written in Java, so it runs on systems with Windows, Mac OS X, Linux or Solaris, among others. The program has support for multi-source downloads, Ultrapeers, Bitzi metadata lookup and MAGMA. Those who are curious about the appearance can go on this page view some screenshots of the program in action. Version 3.0.2 is now available with the following announcement and list of changes:

This is a bug fix release which should improve performance and fixes many user reported problems. Thanks for all the great input and bug tracking help we received from various users. Without your help this release wouldn’t be as good as it is now.
