XNap is a free OpenNAP client for Unix-like systems and licensed under the GNU Public License . XNap is purely written in Java programming language. The client features a modern Swing based user interface and console support that will run nicely on every platform with a recent Java Runtime Environment (1.3 or higher). The XNap client was designed in a way to allow easy extension through plugins. Actually the client itself is mostly useless and only makes sense if used in conjunction with plugins. In fact all of the network protocol implementations are provided by plugins. Actually some of these plugins are merely front ends for existing network protocol implementations. Due to the extension API it was possible to write a plugin for the Gnutella network using the LimeWire core within a single weekend. The developers highly recommend downloading plugins via the plugin installer that ships with XNap.

Includes plugins for OpenNAP, Gnutella, giFT and Overnet
