Winny runs fine on Wine 0.9.52 here, but I can't figure out how to make it display fonts correctly. Tried setting the font in the settings to MS PGothic, but it seems to be an encoding error after all. How do you make Wine display stuff correctly in Winny?
Interested!!
From my own experience:
Share simply dies with an "Access violation at 00xxxxx", and that's all about Share on WINE.
Perfect Dark runs almost flawlessly under Wine. You will need to install the Mozilla (Gecko) ActiveX control (for those apps that require IE, Wine will ask for download it for you on the first time that it's required). After installing the required font (see below), Perfect Dark is ready to go! It has not crashed there... yet :) There will be some spots with unreadable japanase (depending on your distro/Wine version), mainly in the search pane.
For the japanase fonts: fonts served via X server WILL NOT WORK, so if you install MS PGothic on your Linux box, for example, PD will still show unreadable characters. The solution is to copy manually the font to ~/.wine/drive_c/Windows/Fonts directory. This way, your japanase letters will be rendered fine... if your program use the font that you've just installed. If not, and this will depend on your distro/Wine version, you will see ">>>" or squares instead of kanjis and such stuff :(
Fun fact: "perfect dark zepto server" (a odd file tracking stuff bundled in PD's "web interface") uses AJAX :D

While running perfect dark for a whole night, connected properly with fonts working and all that, only ~16 MB of unity were stored up, and almost no search results had appeared, even though I know there should've been lots.
I did install MS PGothic in the .wine folder, but Winny isn't Unicode, so nothing displays right anyway.
Give some time to Perfect Dark, or feed it with more nodes, and some juicy files. A quick way to get the needed 2GB for unity is to toss it any file that you've downloaded with Share. Since both networks will eventually have the same files, you're helping the network to grow (and cheating a bit for enlarge your unity ;)
Otherwise PD will take ages to fill the unity (even on Windows!). BTW: for some odd reason, after upgrading to Wine 0.9.52 from 0.9.47, PD's UI no longer has antialiased fonts (at least for MS PGothic items)
click on this :P

Ah, okay. Thanks for the tip!
I've pushed over 2 TB through Perfect Dark now and my Unity File hasn't grown over 222mb. This program sucks

Try setting better bandwith at options. For my 2Mbit I had to select like 20Mbit to get it working.
I mostly use Share inside VirtualBox with a stripped down Windows 2003.
I also have PD installed which runs perfectly fine with wine, but after playing around with it initially I haven't used it much at all.
As for Winny... Is it even worth it anymore? You'd think it's pretty much dead by now.

Yeah, that's really bothering me since it works fine otherwise.
Has anyone gotten it to display everything correctly?
$ locale -a | grep ja_JP.eucjp
ja_JP.eucjp
$ wine --version
wine-1.1.2
$ cd Winny2
$ LC_ALL="ja_JP.eucjp" wine Winny.exe
Slackware 12.1, wine installed with no extra font. I think I use the Linux default fonts. No patches, no extra packages, (it seems) it displays Japanese words in wine. I use this "LC_ALL="ja_JP.eucjp" wine ...exe thing to running PF.
