should read "Gnutella as a leeching pool" LOL

There are no Gnutella standards, the GDF is discussing Proposals and Protocols some may implement while others may not.

Spyware is a tale, mothers tell their pre-pubescent kids to scare them. If I may give you one advice: "Don't believe the hype!"

I assume you would pay for the additional bandwidth of letting other clients connect to your hostscache. Anyways, you can connect to router.limewire.com with various clients, including mutella, for example, which just happens to be one I tried.

And you should get your facts before YOU post rather than telling wild stories about what you suppose to be the truth without making the slightest attempt to verify it.

I have done it...

Where is your verification?

Spyware a tale???

No Gnutella standards???

Hmm wild stories...

You can connect to router.limewire.com???

Lets see what afisk said about this:

Yes but YOU are something special you can connect with other clients!

I have investigated - I posted many links I asked several well informed people! But if you are to lazy to read the posts its not my problem!

Taliban!

Why do you need a new profile is your old not good enough?

Troll John!

Morgwen

That does only prove my point!

I would love to send you my version of mutella, so you can see for yourself.

The statements that router.limewire.com is shut down for the public prove your point???

Perhaps your German is better than your English! :D

Morgwen

what about this new client that is charging $5 if you want to pay? You think people will pay and keep this company alive?
Why can't gnutella exist because open source code is all done and written because a few people gave a little time for free?
Isn't it the commercial interests that are causing all these changes in a effort to match or catch up to illegal trading systems (for profit systems that put up servers full of illegal MP3s so their network looks like people are sharing).
If people would be satisfied with the way things are now, you search, get a file and be happy, then we have the code and it's done.
Everyone thinks this is some sort of sports event where you have to "win". Gnutella will never become the #1 trading system, because illegal systems will always be better. But Gnutella will always be there because it's open and honest (people really "trade" with it).
No need for greed because the code is all done and anyone creating a "new" client and charging $$ would look like a fool.
So maybe it's greed that is creating more greed.

Re: Take it with humour
 

All your gnutella are belonging to us

i get it
 

I finally get it. As posted by Unregistered above you are all mad because BS and LW are improving gnutella. Your right! I am mad at them to. I mean I really like gnutella 0.56. Ok so you couldnt get anything, the network was crap, full of spam and pretty much going down the drain. But at least it was open source and non-commercial (as long as you dont count AOL as commercial and a closed source program as open source - but thats all besides the point). Simple fact of the matter is that it was the greed of BS and LW that saved this network from itself and we should never forgive them for that!

BTW, anyone know where I can download 0.56. I really hate all these new features and great performance I am getting and would like a good old fashion crappy client.
