giFTcurs is only the client. You need to run the server (giFT) as well.
The server is updated constantly! You really need to use CVS. I kept the
same version for a week and got messages asking me to upgrade to the
newer version.
The install is pretty straight forward though.
I'm currently running a server, that is accessible to all (not a very
good idea, you won't be
able to share files...).
If anyone in this group is interested, you are free to try it out to get
an idea of what
giFT is like. (hopefully your downloads won't end up on my computer and
vice-versa :)
the server is server.crasseux.com
Search for family guy, there's always a bunch of episodes.
Here's the giftcurse website (notice the nice deb package):
