After installing Jungle Monkey, run 'jm' to start it (or launch it from the Gnome menu if you compiled it with Gnome support). You should see a channel called "Monkey Central". Hopefully, channel announcements will appear in Monkey Central. Right-click to make a popup menu appear with a list of options. Right-click on "Monkey Central" and select "Create Channel". You will be asked to give the channel a name. Once you've created your channel, drop-and-drag some files into it. You can join other channels by double-clicking them. Try this with some channel advertised in Monkey Central. Note that to have your channels announced, you must create them in a channel (by right-clicking the channel and selecting "Create Channel"). Root-channels, created by selecting "Create Root Channel", do not get advertised on Monkey Central (though you can send the URL to your friends).
