Do people actually believe that Gnutella has problems??? I have trouble with that... gnutella provides us all with a wonderful filesharing community... why push it too hard... it works now... it should grow slowly... gnutella in a sense is more of a parrallel to the internet than to napster... gnutella is a protocol... it allows people to connect to one another... the internet didn't pop out of nowhere overnight it took years to develop to where it is... and it continues to grow... explosive growth will, IMO, over time only cripple the network... if someone from gnutella attempts to break off and "take" over the network, people will leave and the whole network would shrink into subnetworks... and besides most of the people that will leave are the ones that share... Quincy, you just want free ****, that's fine but who do you think allows you to get this free stuff... the other people who share... this is a give and take community... unless there are some people who have this crazy "hemp-smoking" attitude then you'd never get files... and you'd have to go else where... Napster thrived for two reasons (1) the greed of some (2) the generosity of others... those files are hosted by people like you and me... if everyone was greedy then there would be no network and we'd all have nothing... and as Fist put it, if you don't like what's out there code your own client... gnutella's protocol is open source so it's not like you have any excuses...
