"Barb Wire Networks, another start-up aiming at the business, was inspired by a 2001 Xerox
PARC research paper indicating that just a small percentage of online file-swappers
provided the vast majority of the content available at any given moment.

That company is now building a large network of nodes that will tap into peer-to-peer
networks such as Kazaa or Gnutella, in theory overwhelming this small group of content with
false files, CEO Ralph Clark said. That network will be online late this year or early in 2003,
Clark said. "
Large network of nodes?
Shareaza nodes?
2003? thats about right for it to be that popular by then.
Follow the money trail.

Our old friend Taliban had a vision about this :D
But at least for once, Vinnie and Adam aren't the bad guys in this story........... Anyway Mike still has to tap into the Kazaa network

Napster = Kazza = AG = DEAD !

From what I read it has much less bugs than bearshare...

Morgwen

I do.
I have some answers. Real ones.

Answers are not the problem.
Finding people around here who can hear through and beyond their paranoia is the problem.

No, Vinnie, you are quite wrong.

Further, and this is one from which you cannot escape... Either you have not tried Shareaza yet, so your words can only be irresponsible hearsay (Irresponsible because of your position in the community), or you HAVE tried it and our not being honest.

No matter which may be the case, a developer in your position within the Gnutella community SHOULD be examining clients - Especially any client which has had the impact of Shareaza.

It puts you in a very bad light to insinuate and make the innuendo you do make regarding Shareaza... It would take a blind fool to not see how quickly you are trying to implement ALREADY working features from Shareaza. LimeWire is now doing the same.

Now, when do we see 'queued uploads'?
That's next in Shareaza. Along with further 'goodies'.

Many more comments could and should be made regarding your words to date about Shareaza... But, is there any real point in addressing these things now, considering the time you have had to prove to yourself what Shareaza is? And, please, no words about swamped with development work.... if you have the time to attend the many forums, you have the time to trial Shareaza.

God Ursula, all knowing and all mighty....

Please tell us who pays this "mike" Shareaza author's bills while he does all this wonderful work for free?

It's a simple question and since you are the only one here who seems to know everything about this progam and "mike" and are not clouded by "paranoia", you should be able to answer this simple question.
Show us the money trail.
Mike has been given the chance over and over to answer this simple question and he covers it up by saying people must be crazy for asking.
I still don't see any features added that would help spread MP3 files without the RIAA or other big corporations being able to stop it. Where are those features that were requested?
Now I want proof. Prove that Sharaza isn't being paid directly or indirectly by the RIAA or by some record label to develop a program that can flood Gnutella to prevent their "IP" from being distributed.
