Quote: Originally posted by GrnBroker I do have one questions for you Gurus... When we do a search for something, are the results only from computers connected at the time of the search, or does Xolox keep a record of what files are on all members computers?

You can only "see" a small part of the net, because the clients have limited the search requests... without this limit there would be to much search traffic. Quote:

| Gnutella has no central server where such information could be saved.
