OpenSource P2P Net Discussion Thread

[Sephiroth]

That is the worst thing ive ever seen..

Your allowing people to favor servents over another on gnutella which is horrible because your program no only affects the one user on the network but everyone else's horizon as well..

I dont think you fully understand what your doing much less how it affects gnutella. You want to divide up gnutella based on a non-network issue like commerical programs then fine go ahead with your openp2pnet.

Dont interefere with the current gnutella network by adding things like blocking of servents and some other "features" which dont seem to be in the best interest of gnutella..

Users should allowed to be able to use whatever program they want to and they shouldnt be affected on the network by programs like yours which blocks others programs and limits users freedom by punishing users who choose to use a commerical program instead of an open source one.. Which you or anyone else does not have the right to do.

Really it just sad that people would launch there little assults against me and mrgone for not agreeing with this. Just shows once again that it seems that people are acting without thinking of the potential conquences of there actions...

Features:

* Connects to the OpenSource P2P Net by default
* Still works as a Gnutella client, with or without blocking
* You control all aspects of blocking, it's your choice!
* Network type, name and blocking settings are all via the GUI
* Move around the network to find rare files!
* Selectively block clients that are causing problems
* Selectively block clients to move around the clustered net
* Block all for profit clients with one push of a button
* Find out for yourself that you don't need commercial clients to share files!
* Change from OpenSource P2P Net to Gnutella from the GUI
* Create a custom network name, start your own private network!
* Avoid your sys-admin if packet sniffers are looking for "GNUTELLA"
* Default lists of clients included to help select blocking
* All this and it's free! No Greed!

* Static host catchers now reload properly with delay
* Internal host cache is now larger so it's harder to run dry

Checked with the latest norton antivirus.
Just replace the Gnucleus.exe file in your Programs-Gnucleus folder.

Please be patient with the new OpenSource P2P Net, it will take
a little while to develop more nodes on the network. You can help
by running yours 24/7 or as long as possible. Enable for profit
client blocking and you will still be able to get/share files
with all the non profit clients!

This was about 40+ hours of work & testing.
Kudos to whoever put up a static IP server at 24.234.19.159:6347
very handy! Thanks!
And thanks to Simeon for providing a Linux version!
