The nap isn't really maintained by the real author anymore. Instead,
there is another project which aims to continue the original author's
idea. The new version is A LOT more stable, with various new fixes and
improvements.
The homepage is http://theory.stanford.edu/~selinger/nap/
Quick changelog with the main things:
- fixed a security bug (string format attack)
( http://www.shmoo.com/mail/bugtraq/sep00/msg00942.shtml )
- added --user, --pass, --email, --upload, --download, --dataport,
--connection, --maxusers options to override settings in config file.
- look for config and library files in user's home directory, rather
than current directory. Also, renamed these files more discreetly as
.napconf and .nap_shared.
- fixed several memory leaks and null pointer bugs.

originally written for windows.
Napster is a great tool for exploring and experiencing
artists and music you've never heard before, using protocol
for sharing MP3 files between users. With Napster, the files
stay on the user machine, never passing through the server.
The server has the ability to search for particular files,
initializing direct transfer between the clients.
