Hello!

The loss of AudioGalaxy do affect us Gnutella users therefore this thread is legitimate.

The Gnutella Developers(Especially LimeWire ones) thinks it is of great importance that new fresh content(Uniqe individual files) is constantly added to the GnutellaNet so that it continues to grow in popularity and that Gnutella continue to increase its available data amount.

A common source for music files that have been added to Gnutella is Audio Galaxy.I used to do that meaning whenever I found something on AG that I could not find on Gnutella I would download it from AG and then add it to my Shared Directory for LW and GNutella.This way new and fresh content was added to the Gnutella network.

Now when AG is gone as a source for new fresh content to Gnutella it is a threat to the expansion of Gnutella.

But hopefully many of the previous AG users decides to use any of the Gnutella client and bring their files to the GnutellaNet.But I suspect that primarily most of them will try Fast Track first and possibly Direct Connect since they have centralized index of files and I thing that previous AG users preferr that method but if the RIAA gets to them then Gnutella will probably get all those files to join the GnutellaNet.

I miss AudioGalaxy but if Gnutella would dissappear(Not likely) it would be a dissaster!
