Hi All,

Does anybody know of any open-source Gnutella clients?

Thanks in advance

So far I collect these three VB clients:

*VBGnutella - www.gnutelladev.com/source/vbgnutella.html
*Coyotella and the only *gnutella* servent 0.01 - www.planet-source-code end search 'gnutella' in Visual Basic catagory

Thank you very much!

I was looking for one to and coyotella wont connect for me when I run it from within VB. Is there any description of how to use gnutella protocols from VB?

I was looking for VB-Gnutella Source, too. I can't get Coyotelly work, vbtella is only beta 3, "very old", and doesn't work anymore, too. The *only* example from psc... has it ever connected?


Im just experimentig with some VB-gnutella code, doesn't really work. And there are a lot of problems... the biggest one is, that there are no unsigned data types in vb. the second is vb's poor performance... and several other issues...


send a mail to pferdo@web.de [if you'd like to read a lot of german comments in a german client's source ]

see you

coyotella is beeing rewritten

this trouble of connection is beeing to be solve and automatic multiple host will be added.
the trouble is that there was no difference made between pong servent and classical host. So to solve this trouble just take classical hosts on www.gnufrog.com and change hosts in the option form. To test or check if an app is working just launch a well known soft like limewire or gnucleus locally and play with the soft you're programming/debugging

No offense to the author, but I hope the code's also being cleaned up a bit. My one huge problem with that code is that there is no differentiation between function names and variable names.... it makes it incredibly difficult to follow when trying to figure out even the most simple concepts.

Preferrably Gnucleus since it seems to me that Limewire prefers connecting to other Limewire servents. I tested a rudimentary client of my own and wasn't able to get any response from Limewire whereas I was able to get results when using Gnucleus.

I agree with you (I try to make the next release code more object oriented, understandable, and with less global variable...) I hope you'll apreciate the next version of code. But as i'm changing all the structure of the soft I can't send you a release now. But if you have some question I can help you.
