Hello!
Yes it is true that an exact statistical figure is hard to get for Gnutella but also for many of the others.The stats come from Swedens biggest Internet magazine InternetWorld latest issue in which they tested different P2P programs and networks and also asked around on various download sites and also they got info from some various client developers.By the way Direct Connect was choosen as the best network and won the test.Personally I dissagree with that outcome because of the practice that you have to share an outrageous amount of data to get access to the best Hubs some even requires you to have 100GB of data before you can access them and I dont even have a HD that can match that.Its rediculus!
Also it is mainly used for movies for which it is great but for other things it is not so good and that is one of Gnutella's major strenghts that you can access any type of files on it.
Also it is only available for Windows and since I use a Mac I cannot even use it.That is really bad!
Gnutella Rocks!
