Tribler: BitTorrent and Beyond (Linux Journal)
Doc Searls looks
at peer to peer acceptance and the Tribler client. ""Everything
we're doing is based on open source", says Johan Pouwelse, PhD, scientific
director of P2P-Next and Assistant Professor of Computer Science at
Delft. The good doctor also runs P2P-Next's first trial application:
Tribler (pronounced "tribe-ler"), a BitTorrent-based client with no servers
and a "zero-cost" business model. Tribler provides an all-in-one way to
find, consume and share media."

I was unable to get the most recent version to work on Fedora 10. There are no pre-built packages, and following the instructions that came with the source resulted in a fatal error, apparently because Fedora's SSL doesn't contain Elliptic Curves code.
Ubuntu users, however, are in luck. There are maintained, pre-built packages.

Works with Debian Unstable as well, though there are interface issues. For example, searching for files will clobber your view of discovered files.
Also, starting Tribler on a desktop then switching to another will permanently hide Tribler.

Correction, double-clicking on the systray icon (not enabled by default) un-hides Tribler.

Is Certicom still claiming[1] that they have enforceable patents on most of the elliptic curve crypto algorithms?
