It basically scraps the entire Gnutella search model in favor of searching UltraPeers one by one very quickly over UDP until you get enough results. You should see it coming out in beta for LimeWire 3.0 or so in the next several months.
Adam,
"GUESS" sounds like a truly revolutionary Gnutella architecture enhancement!!!! However, it seems to me that your anticipated implementation timeframe of LW 3.0/several months out, is painfully too far away!!

I would think that the urgency of this enhancement is quite clear, due to the recent degradations in the Gnutella network! I'm hoping that without question, "GUESS" would be at the top of LimeWire's developers priority list!!!

Any chance development and release of this enhancement can be stepped up a bit?
