Linux P2p Programs

After installing Red Hat Linux 9, I wanted to find a P2P program. I looked around at sourceforge and found a few. Downloaded just about all of them, I then tried to install them, none worked. I followed instructions from the programs website, if any, but I couldn't install them. gIFT says I need dependecies, which I found all but some wouldn't install. I tried limewire, it needed Java VM, which I downloaded and installed and Limewire still wouldn't work. I tried Qtella, Azureus, and even tried to run Kazaa Lite in wine. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

If you have installed any P2P programs for Linux please post instuctions
