ok, so basically, what you guys are saying is that, only some servents will be sent a ping and those will send back a pong so i'll be able to connect to them.

which applications use this version of the protocol?
how do they decide which connection is "bad" and which is "good"?
does anyone receiving a ping really answer with a pong?
what if i received a ping but i have too many connections already do i answer with a pong?

and where can i find more detailed spec. on the recent changes in gnutella's protocols.

oh, and another question do you know of any application using the push protocol?

thanks,

feliz
