Welcome to Phex!

Phex is a free p2p filesharing program available for all major platforms including Windows, MacOSX and GNU/Linux.

With it you can search and download files which other users share and publish your own files into the Gnutella Network.

It has been free of Ad- or Spyware since its inception in April 2001 (Softpedia Award) and gets continuously improved by the Phex Development Group (ohloh statistics), a community of developers, translators and users which anyone can join who wishes to contribute - and we'd be happy to welcome you in, too!

Additionally to enabling users to share files, Phex also served as base for various academic studies on p2p technology.

If you want to see it in action, please download it and give it a try!

Why use Phex?

Phex offers advanced p2p filesharing for any system.

Whether you have a new shiny many-core GNU/Linux workhorse with a massive broadband line, one of those G4 iMacs, or an old 200Mhz Windows ME laptop behind a 56k modem line, Phex will get you into p2p. (Minimum requirements: Java 1.5 - 64MiB Ram).

To accompany that low profile, it lays its whole set of advanced features into your hands, from per file download strategies and advanced filter-rules to private networks and anonymous p2p via i2Phex.

If you want a good and mature p2p filesharing program, which keeps you in control and near the bleeding edge without hammering your CPU or network (stats), Phex might be the right tool for you.

If you've grown interested, we hope you'll download it and decide for yourself, if it fits your needs.
