Champagne time--gnutella hits 1 meeeellion hosts

[stief]

Congrats to all--gnutella hit the million hosts mark sometime in the past few hours. See the Rolling Host count at http://www.limewire.com/english/content/netsize.shtml

You devs must be pleased to see all your work being used so successfully.

Thanks guys--from one happy user

[et voilà]

No!!! More users = more attention from RIAA et al. One million is a sweet spot, let's stay there (I'm mi-serious about that). I, for one, feel it's a victory of gnutella over G2 and over Gnet haters. Go Gnutella, may innovation wins over copying and mediocrity!

Heheheh.

I won't worry--http://www.slyck.com/ will downplay this milestone (see below), and bury the news praising some other network.

Besides--there's too much legitimate content being distributed via gnutella

This really reinforces gnutella's posiiton of being open, collaborative, and sustainable: it's a nice balance between a commercial and opensource project. Even the g2 conflicts seem to have dissipated away.

So because GnucDNA had a bug that wasn't in Morpheus that caused it not to respond to Limewire, Morpheus is a leech client? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you found that issue in a version of GnucDNA that was still in the testing phase (ie. not in Morpheus). I don't remember you posting about any other specific transfer issues, but you still just assert Morpheus leeches...

[Vampmon]

I dont remember him posting anything either, but he's a troll you see, yet calls everyone else just that....

[et voilà]

Risky, I also Pmed you the bug reports I sent to Swabby. GnucDNA 1.1.0.8 in morph450 leeches, reread my PM

leave guys. I have nothing to do with Morpheus (OS X user), but am getting increasingly tired of your trolls. et voilà is the only one here I trust, so the more you post flames, the less reputable Morpheus seems.

Well, a while ago, when there still was a substantial number of Morpheus hosts in the search horizon of any LimeWire user, the amount of results coming from Morpheus hosts, or rather the lack thereof, was quite obvious. I think Greg Bildson dubbed it the "Morpheus black hole", but today it is almost impossible to tell whether Morpheus works or not from the perspective of a LimeWire user. If you don't see any Morpheus results, it may be because there are too few Morpheus hosts in your horizon.
