yeah, this is exactly the kind of Gnutella client (ehum local server) I'm looking for. We are several persons to share the same MacOSX machine and we all use Limewire. When one of us wants to log in you have to log out the open user session, which means you have to quit Limewire and stop all ongoing down/up loads. Would be much better to have a local server which can run as a daemon and start when the machine is booted, to which you can connect a client from the current user session. All requests would continue to run in the server regardless of wether the client deconnects. Is anybody working on something like this?
