Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed.

If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 Really Peer-2-Peer? If gnutella is really a peer-2-peer protocol, why do I need servers/hosts in order to get a list of hosts? where does the servers get the users from? and what happens if the servers fall? ------------------ Babaler...  |

 the "hosts" you first connectect to provide IP address of recent users of the net. this updates your "found host list" (really other Servants). 2/27/2001 very technical infomation can be found at http://www.limewire.com/index.htm check the developers section MY PLAIN ENGLISH VERSION: As I understand the "Gnutella Network" I am a Servant, my Servant is running LIMEWIRE (a clone) on my MAC(ahh) connected to my internet provider(IP) on a 56kb modem. The ISP connects me to the InterNet, to another ISP which can be my browser, other Servants, etc. Because of my speed (56kb) limewire recomends 3 connections to other Servants, be they PPC or MAC running any clone or speed doesn't matter. My Servant tries to connect to IP address's of other Servants that have been on the network. When/if connections are made my Servant gets connected 5(TTL) levels deep. The TTL set the limit on how many servants my Servant msgs go through. My Servant tells the Sernavts I am connected to about my connection and they propagate it through the network untill the TTL expires (each Servant deletes 1 from the TTL of my msg). Then each Servant sends my Servant a reply msg stating what their connection is, if their TTL had not expired my Servant sends their msg to the other Servants I am connected to (2) and they in turn pass it on untill the TTL expires. I can search for files on about 3(connection) 5(TTL's) deep, 3 to the 5th power (apx 250) other servants (assuming an all modem network). When I start a search my Servant tell the Servants I am connected to who I am (IPaddress), what I want, my TTL and other info. The search is propogated untill the TTL expires, if any of the servants has a file the matches the search they send a msg back to my Servant telling me the info about the file and their IPaddress, this may take three minutes to complete. If I find a file I want to down load my Servant connects directly to that Servant and requests the load. Didn't get any results from your search with 3 mins? Notice that the number of host (Servants) you are connected to has been changing! Those are all new Servants that may have the file you are looking for. Most other seaches we use tell us if their are 0 results THIS DOSN'T, it just tells you who has what you may want, with in your TTL. ISP: Internet Service Provider, who your modem called (local connector to WWW). TTL: , Time To Live, how many Sernavts Msgs proprogate through. Client: A clone of Gnutella software Servant: All the ISP's connected or trying to connect to a Gnutella Network. All are both host and user's, their is not a one cpu controlling the network, all the Servants are! WE KILLED THE KING AND NOW THE SERVANTS ARE RUNNING THE CASTLE!!!!!!!! |

 The gnutella client needs a place to start - somebody to connect to. The hosts that it connects to when first started are simply helpful sites that have made a list of recently active gnutella servents for your servent to try. Once the sites have given your servent a list of other servents, and hopefully added yours to their list, your servent disconnects from the host and is off and running on it's own. Obviously, these "kick start" sites are potential targets for the RIAA. If that were to happen, other strategies for getting a startup servent list would have to be investigated. My guess is that the RIAA will come gunning for these sites as soon as Napster is killed. Of course, starting a lawsuit, and winning one are two different things and it appears that the legal standing against these hosts is pretty slim. |

My guess is that the RIAA >>will come gunning for these sites as soon as Napster is killed. Seems to me that the best strategy for this is simply to cache every connection to/from every host, and possibly rank them on how long they've been alive, or on the number of connections. Then when your servant starts, have it run through the cached list to make connections .... Also seems to me that I'm not the first person to think of this. Is there a servant out there that already does this? I'm using Gnotella atm, and as far as I can tell, it does not do this. |
