Great response by Gregorio and others to Slyk's grumpy note about reaching 1M.
The summary Slyk used is "A perceived unimpressive network displays impressive numbers" and the article continued the same style.

I laughed at this description of GnutellaHe even quotes Greg Bildson's point that "the count is still understated," which was also announced on the GDF earlier

Gregorio and others do a better job of setting the record and attitude straight in the comments.

Slyk doesn't note how factors like open protocol, open source, multiplatform, multilanguage and the collaborative nature of the Gnutella Development Group have led to a sustainable model of p2p development. Buggy clients have to compete with free and better clients on gnutella that are better developed, or die.

I've been reading Slyk for a couple of years now, and wondered why its gnutella section was so out-dated and misleading. Looks like it's personal, and will continue.

laughingstock?
ridiculed?
unimpressive?

Never let the facts get in the way of a story. :p

et voilà,
that bug is fairly nasty, indeed :rolleyes:. You win, GnucDNA is a piece of crap, no need to be diplomatic about it. Still, it doesn't matter, LimeWire does a well enough job to keep GnucDNA hosts out of your search horizon. (I wish only that LW had accepted my vendor filter patch, so we could have kept them confined to their own small subnet and cut all connections to it ;-) ).

Seriously, GnucDNA & Morpheus are already down, no need to keep kicking them and you will have a hard time convincing the two or three people that admit to liking (or even working for) Morpheus, how bad their product is. As much as I like a good Morpheus-bashing, it's getting a little old. I prefer concentrating on discussing how to improve Gnutella over debating to which extent Morpheus is responsible that LimeWire's counter hasn't reached 1 million a couple of months earlier.
