Thanks, Backmann and Pizzachiliman, for understanding that putting ads (not spyware) makes you a criminal. This is a bad thought that has gone though most Gnutella enthusiasts. After what Bearshare and Limewire have done, there's a worm that has caught their brains. This worm, somehow fears ads (not spyware).

Look at the rest of the web. 90% of the free internet software contain ads. And there, people think that the program with ads are better. Here, it is absolutely the opposite. Ad supported clients are taken as murderers.

As it is, it takes Thousands of dollars to program a good efficient client. Add to that, it takes hours upon days upon weeks, or even months of toiling and hardwork from the developer. In the end, he has to develop an ad-free version, to suit the attitude of the Gnutella Enthusiasts. I think we, the users, are being greedy here. We should give some credit to the developers too. We should at-least let them have the time & money they spent on developing the app, that we are so freely using.

When it comes to Bearshare and Limewire, I personally too think that they took it too far.........

I am against spywares, but for ads. If you want devs further developing the application, all the devs need your help. You need some money to do that.

So, let's stand united for the devs, help them, and take the Gnutella clients one step forward!
