Hi Everybody,

I am currently completing my post-graduate dissertation in the development of an Altruistic Gnutella Host. The host attempts to offer a postive impact on the Gnutella network and services for its user.

It does this by the automatic indexing and caching of popular files on the Gnutella network - you leave the system running overnight and get a selection of the most popular files.

It also implements advanced routing techniques including content based routing, load balancing and a simple AI junk-file blocker.

You can read about where I'm upto at:

and find detailed presentations and proposals in the download section of my project's website:

All comments and criticisms greatly recieved.
