Is there any way to disable the HTTP features of gtk-gnutella? I couldn't find any...

The problem is that when I run gtk-gnutella here at work (tried it for the first time today), while it works well, it actually manages to hog all of the HTTP requests coming into the building!

No other person in the facility can browse the web. I was able to trace the network traffic (and collisions) back to my machine, and they all went away when I killed off gtk-gnutella. If I fire it up again, the problem resurfaces..

I'm trying gtk-gnuteall because I used to use qtella, but 0.5.3 no longer seems to connect, and I won't touch LimeWire with a 10ft pole (we don't need no steenkin' java).

HELP!

HTTP is used for filesharing.

Which version are you using? Have you tried to bandwidth-limit the HTTP traffic? The Gnutella traffic?

Are you serving "popular" files that get highly demanded?

Or are you simply sucking up all the bandwidth?

HTTP is used for filesharing?! That's somewhat counter-intuitive. I mean, this is a gnutella client, which is for file sharing... why the need for http? Eh.. that's another issue all together.

I'm sharing like 1Gig worth of data, but it starts hogging ALL of the http traffic within a few minutes of starting up.. really, once it has discovered some servers out there to connect to..

It is definitely not an issue of 'popular' files, that is for sure..

What is the outgoing bandwidth you have?

What do you mean by "hogging all HTTP requests"?
