Gnutella network is definitely still active, athough not even close to the level it once was. It has plenty of drawbacks but one of the few advantages over torrents is that it doesn't need trackers. Just enough clients online to connect with one another.

You can even still find Shareaza with a quick search.

    Torrents don't need trackers either. They can work with just DHT.

    Feel like I've been doing this too long to run P2P clients on my desktop. Any good projects to let you self-host something to interact with the gnutella network on an external server? Something with a nice webui?

    Something like Qbittorrent-Nox or rTorrent/ruTorrent for Gnutella would be great.

    There's gtk-gnutella. It has --shell flag. You need to write commands. There's no TUI. If you just want to share from there, there's no issue, but if you want to search and download from the search you are better using the normal gtk-gnutella (without the --shell) flag.

    I've tried to use the shell mode, long time ago and it was complicated. So i never did it. It was long time ago.

    If you want webinterface, then there's nothing. gnutella is way too old for that shit. If you don't mind connecting to a server via ssh, there’s gtk-gnutella. It has --shell flag. You need to write commands. There’s no TUI. If you just want to share from there, there’s no issue, but if you want to search and download from the search you are better using the normal gtk-gnutella (without the --shell) flag.
