Whenever Limewire connects to a Gnucleus untrapeer, I notice two things. The connection is tenacious, and it gives me access to about five other hosts--compared to hundreds through any other software. Eventually, Gnucleus takes a sizable percentage of my ultrapeer connections. Hits drop dramatically. I now am in the habit of breaking a Gnucleus connection as soon as it appears.

Now this program may serve its users well as a downloading program, but integrated into the network it is really a drain on the rest of us.
