What made you choose your Gnutella client?
 

Just curious.

luck really..
 

A friend told me about limewire. I had read about some of the other programs. The other popular ones looked okay, but I don't really like bears all that much!! <b>hehe.</b>

LimeWire 2.0

Needed a CPU effecient servent .
LW 1.7 was just out and I tried it .
After a test run I looked at my logfiles , love on first sight . :D
Seems Java based ones do it for me .

The first ones I tried ( this is about 9 months ago) where Gnotella and Bearshare, but beeing a napster (gnomeplus) refugee I was dissapointed by the succes rate of the actual downloads.
Then I decided to try Phex 020, it gave not so much search results as the other 2, but when you clicked on one most of the time the download would actually start.
Back then Konrad H was developing phex and you got a improved version almost every week :)
So since that time I have been using Phex.
I have also been trying Limewire, Gnucleus and Xolox, and alltough it has a buggy Gui at the moment, Phex is still my favourite, it just does the job the best :D

hmmm. lets see
 

Sad to say, but the main reason was .... INERTIA.

I started off with bearshare, then tried limewire (excellent website, but low-options interface).

Then tried morpheus (kazaa). Found it had very poor content.

Xolox for 2 days. Again low-options interface.

Now, I have bearshare around, but hardly use it anymore.

Pro-Bearshare, coz it has plenty of options, good control over the process.

Anti-bearsh coz the ppl there seem extremely anti-user. Never seen such rude replies to users who experienced problems with the add-on programs.

I had DSL a few weeks and a friend came in my house and while surfing on the internet he told me about Bearshare and FlashGet. So I did install them. I stuck some months with Bearshare, but also played around with other clients and P2P systems... now I use different clients. Best technology, makes me using a client, so I change time by time and try out new clients.
