With the sudden influx of members to gnutella that was bound to happen, this is the time to take action. We have all seen the gnutellanet slow to a crawl. I encourage programmers of clients to make the default TTL values 5. I encourage current users to set their Originating and Forwarding TTL values to 4 or 5. This will reduce network traffic severalfold, and especially with more users, will make little or no difference in the number of hosts received. Plus, it will improve the efficiency of the network, speed search results, etc. and avoid those slow sundays. Please encourage people to do this. PLEASE! feel free to reply to <arodland@ptdprolog.net>
