Download Phex 3.2.4

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. As a result, the program runs on systems with Windows, Mac OS X, Linux or Solaris. Phex has support for ‘multisource 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 3.2.4 is now available with the following list of changes:
