I. Introduction

Nachtblitz is a file sharing software for Windows, running and using the Kademlia network protocol inside I2P. Nachtblitz connects inside I2P to the same "Kad" (Kademlia) network than iMule, it is compatible with.

Linux OS: since v1.4.21 (june 2014) Nachtblitz can run on Linux by using Wine with Microsoft's .NET Framework (read the tutorial on the official Nachtblitz eepsite).

Initial release of Nachtblitz: 2012.


You have to use some safety measures not to record your IP address on the server when you download source codes or deb files. It is same when you use repositories of Linux or something's distributors.

II. Quick start guide

Wait for it to connect to peers (5 minutes).

Note: unlike iMule, Nachtblitz is provided with a 'nodes.dat' file (it's a list of addresses of some others clients).

How to set Nachtblitz to your language

Menu 'Application' > 'Options' > 'Language' > 'Text language' (select) > 'OK'.

Currently (september 2014) there is 4 languages available.

How to share your files

You can offer files for other users too : menu Menu 'Application' > 'Options' > 'Shared Directories' > click 'Add' then choose a folder to share. You can share several folders.

You must choose one of your shared folders as the 'Output Dir' (this will be the folder for incoming files, the files you have download).

<!> Be careful : DO NOT SHARE your private folders nor files or things that do not belong to you!

IV. Misc

Recommendation to organize your shared folders

(!) A good practice would be to create on your hard disk a folder where you put all the files shareable. Then you can share this main folder without fear to do a mistake (like sharing the wrong folder or sub folder), and without forget to share folders.

Example for Windows :

  • C:\Shared_P2P\
  • C:\Shared_P2P\eBooks\
  • C:\Shared_P2P\Incoming\
  • C:\Shared_P2P\Movies\
  • C:\Shared_P2P\Musics\
  • C:\Shared_P2P\Softwares\
  • C:\Shared_P2P\Torrents\

Crash report

Before to report a crash to the developper of Nachtblitz, please look if there a crash log file has been saved:

  • Windows OS: "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Application Data\Roaming\Nachtblitz"
  • Linux OS: "$HOME\.wine-nachtblitz\drive_c\users\YOURUSERNAME\Application Data\Nachtblitz".
