Not necessarily. While I'm not 100% sure whether it applies to searching, most Gnutella clients won't even bother trying to download a file that you already have in your shared directory that has the same file name and file size.

Therein lies our problem.... how - aside from using someone elses computer, do we do it? I've tried a number of ways (i.e., running a client without a (or with a different) shared directory, and it hasn't worked yet.
