[Help] Creating a simple gnutella search client
 

Hello,

I'm new to Guntella development, but I'm quite experienced in developing under Java.

Basically, I want to try and create a simple guntella search client. I'm talking something along the lines of a command line program that accepts parameters and then returns the file name of the first file found.

The thing is, I don't really know where to start. I've downloaded the source for both Limewire and Phex, and I've also experiemented with JTella and followed a few tutorials but nothing has really worked for me.

When I downloaded the Phex and Limewire source files, I didn't know where to look in order to find the core functionality, mainly the source code that accepts a search term and sends it off to a list of hosts. I'm hoping that to do just this, would require a few lines of code?

If anyone could maybe point me in the direction of code such as this, I'd be really grateful, or if maybe someone could point me in the direction of an up-to-date tutorial, that would be awesome! :D

Thanks

You are doing it wrong - you must stduy this protocol first, then you will notice its much easier.
Its a very nice exercise to learn the prtocol by reverse engineering, but its not necessary and much more complex.
