Or, instead squared, you could download a .deb package.

I used Firefox.  I went to
	http://gtk-gnutella.sourceforge.net/en/?page=news
and found a sidebar block with a "Download" title.
I clicked on it.  (No -- not on the "CVS Snapshots" word immediately 
below it).  This brought me to the rather unmemprable URL
	http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4467
which is a page of links to files for downloading.
Clicking on the entry 	
	GTK2_gtk-gnutella_0.96.0-0_i386.deb
brought me to a page of mirrors.  Click on the word "Download" for one 
of them, and the download begins.
