Somehow I seem to be limited to 150 to 250 hosts (with approx 5TB of data in view) no matter how long I stay connected. After 12 hours I had about 40MB of traffic but still just 250 hosts in view.

To check I tried using GNUTELLA, TOADNODE and GNOTELLA without different results. Increasing the number of outgoing connections from 2 to 4 or 8 didn't change it either. (Inbound was always set to 2)
I'm connected via ISDN (64kBaud) through Compuserve.

I now wonder if Compuserve might filter GNUTELLA PINGs and PONGs to reduce their traffic

Anybody with similar experience?

Try using gnutellahosts.com as you host cache.

Hello,
Okay, Gnutella can be a little frustrating but, give yourself some time to learn the ins and outs. The first thing to check is how many hosts do you have. The number of hosts will be in the left corner. I use 5 out going connections and catch about 500 to 900 hosts. Anymore than 5 connections and the program seemed to hang. You need to seed the program to find good hosts. Enter gnutellahosts.com:6346 in the field next to the add and remove buttons. After entering press the add button and you should begin catching hosts. Let me know if I helped or if you need more info.
