Custom Handshake option?
 

Could you add the custom handshake (default: GNUTELLA) option to set up a private gnutella network easy.. sometimes I like setting it up like this and have a friend connect to me with the handshake and download a file just between him and I.

Gnotella has this option so this is why its still installed and I still have it but with the site no longer up and its no longer updated I would like to get rid of this client and replace it with yours.. this option is the only thing holding this back now that the reboots are not happening with the new client.

Please don't introduce handshakes or passwords to split the network unnecesarry (Bearshare does enough clustering these days IMHO).

ProtonEMIT, direct connect to your friend and disallow any further connections (if you really need), so you can trade between friends only - or setup an FTP.
