About:
Initially intended as a Napster/OpenNap 'robot,' AutoNap can be used like any other console napster client. It retrievs a list of running servers automatically. Beside the interactive-mode there is also the non-interactive mode which is useful for letting AutoNap run overnight or as a cron-job.

oops .. no more napster for linux users
by Jeremy Manning - Aug 17th 2001 00:26:13
I have downloaded many napster programs such as this one .. and
lately I have noticed that none of them are working because of the upgrade
(for windows and mac only) at www.napster.com .. I am just
wandering what is going to happen with all the linux clients for napster??

so what about all these other p2p apps?
by ubrdude42 - Aug 24th 2001 23:18:17
i can't even keep track of them all.... everytime i turn around it's
gnutella, morpheus, win mx.. whatever the latest p2p someone wrote.... and
a million opinions from total crap to ecstacy (most from the first
install/download)... scattered on boards everywhere; i can't click without
hitting a board these days........wow..... it's time for some good
middleware......
I can't wait. :)

As for AutoNap...
by dalglish - Mar 27th 2001 11:49:35
...actually I can't quite agree with the previous poster. It may be right
that there had been a few too many releases (though, did you reckognize
the significant difference between the first release and the current
one?). For me, AutoNap is doing a good and reliable job...it is not yet as
featured as some other napster clients, but the autoselecting of servers is
neat. That's why I am using it.
But agreed on the installation procedure: AutoNap's modules shouldn't
reside in the current location. I sent a mail about that to the author and
he said that this will be changed.
By the way: What's wrong with the documentation? A dummy would be able to
understand it.

Do not use this crap!
by Shawn Fanning - Mar 27th 2001 10:55:50
This project is completely unprofessionally maintained. The author announce
new releases almost every day although there are no essential functions
added!
The documentation is awful and the install script put AutoNap's own
modules into the perl default directories!
There are so many other goods linux clients out there so use them instead
and save you a lot of troubles!

Hmmh, that's interesting:
Shawn@napster.com <= That is your email-address?
Is there a new directive out at Napster to spread bad opinions on anything
that is not generically Napster?
That's in fact the reason why there may be some people who are interested
in AutoNap: Because it is not bound to official Napster servers.
And in fact, considering the features one really needs for napstering,
AutoNap beats some other clients...needless to say that it is preferable
over the official client as you always know what it is doing in the
background.

It is not necessarily awful just because you weren't capable of
understanding it. If you ask me, it is almost overdocumented...AutoNap is
self-explaining so the docs are just one additional goody.

Well, well, well...

If there had been essentials function added, I would have probably
announced each new release as a major feature enhancement. The reason for
so many releases had been, admittedly, the fact, that the whole project
was announced a little bit too prematurely. Making once such a mistake
really brings you in trouble because you have to be quick with
bugfixes...if not, calling it crap may be a justified matter.
And if you are missing essential functions: add them yourself, that's why
I gave the CVS-tree for this project.

Take it or leave it, you weren't the first one to see this...whereas you
had been the first one to post this sort of bugreport in here.
Anyways, it is fixed now and AutoNap will install its modules, by default,
to /usr/local/lib/AutoNap.

No, I will keep using my own.

PS: What stroke you as awful about the documentation?
And what was that about this email-address of yours?

Can you read correctly?
by Shawn Fanning - Mar 27th 2001 16:08:09
Dear Ludwig,
dear Tassilo,
I have absolutely no idea why you are trying to give the impression that I
am affiliated in some way to Napster.com. Of course this is not true. As
you can easily verify from my personal personal page my email address is
Shawn.Fanning@hotmail.com.
My reason for criticising AutoNap is not so much the program itself,
rather then the maintaining policy of the author.
From my point of view of view it is simply unprofessional to keep a
program on Freshmeat's main page by announcing releases in short
intervalls. And obviously this is what the author intended.
Yours Shawn Fanning

Sure, it is shawn.fanning@hotmail.com after you changed it. Funnily enough,
your profile was private for a short period.
Actually, you should consider a different faked name here since every
child knows that Shawn Fanning is the guy who founded Napster. See
http://www.napster.com/company for that if you wont believe it.
Sure, it is a coincidence that you bear the same name...though you were
right with one thing, namely that you are not affiliated with Napster,
even though your sole action here on freshmeat was commenting
AutoNap.

Source code for peer to peer
by Espina Azul - Apr 17th 2002 16:14:48
How are you guys, I need to have some valid information, I've been from
site to site, and I never really got what I'm looking for. The thing that
I'm looking for is to be honest a "copy" of napster or kazaa. I need it,
because I wanna make my own version of it. Not for the big scale that
there on. It's for my friends and I, That they use the certain browser
and they can share from each other or from me.

How about giFT at gift.sourceforge.net for a FastTrack client/server
