Because I connected to them, same as any other client. Please read the Gnutella protocol specs.

2.) It is freeloading off of those people that are blocked from downloading but not uploading.

No it's not, get your facts straight, look at the posted patch file and read the Gnutella protocol specs to see how you can still upload from them. I get uploads from all those other clients right now all the time, mostly morpheus users. I don't know what will happen when blocking is put in but I am sure it will be both ways and it isn't that hard to do.

If they "sold" you something then you got something in return.

You get nothing in return, that's the point. Did you read any of the other posts here about this? You are trying to make your argument look good with nonsense. Are you one of those people who make a profit from people sharing files and are going to get cut off? Now I see your motivation!

You do not get them same software for free elsewhere, unless of course you're stealing it.

Gnucleus is free and has all the new features. Again you make no sense.

What new network? This isn't a new network, it is a client seeking to do damage to the existing network for its own gain.

What gain? Isn't that the point, there is no gain! Please go read some posts and understand what is going on here before you post.

Didn't need to read the source code, the guy who made this already admitted to one way blocking.

There is no blocking right now! You are getting upset over nothing. Go read the patch, go read some code, that is the problem, you don't want to read anything just trying to cause trouble.

The only people that need "punishing" are those actively trying to damage the network.

Clustering is damaging the network, spyware is damaging the network, look at the bad press Morpheus caused against the network because of them spying! You are being punished by them!

So I say, get out. You want your own network then put some effort into making it. Don't just sit here and leech off people because their politics don't match your own.

But this is what we are saying to BS, LW and others, get your own network, but they won't. So what's new?

I suspect that you are one of those people who will lose money if this becomes popular. Is your stock going to go down?
