gnutella sucks
 

I haven't managed to successfully download one ******* thing, yes I do have a fast connection, and no my computer doesn't suck.

Which client are you using? If you're using the original one, then that's why you're having problems.

perhaps I was a little vague, when I say I haven't downloaded anything, I mean that every time I try to download something, it always says "timeout, busy, down, push, error." In the rare cases where I actually get a download to start, the damn thing terminates after I get 30% of it, and it takes forever just to get that much. GNUTELLA sucks, I appreciate what they're trying to do, but for now, IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do you mean "Which Client" ?? Which one
should we be using !!?

There are a bunch of different programs that you can use to access the gnutella network. That is what he means by 'client'. If you are using an outdated client, you should upgrade. The older software is buggy and will not work well. Go to http://www.gnutelliums.com and find a good one for your platform of choice.

Gnutella destroys computers!
 

All the clients suck because Gnutella sucks.
Can't download, big deal!
Everytime I even try to install a Gnutella client, MS OS 2K freaks out. My internet stops functioning. My Control Panel craps out. I can't even copy or move files!
I'm forced to wipe the Hard Drive clean and start all over.
Gnutella sucks! Do not use it!

WHOOF !
 

Every time i try to dl my computer explodes :D

sum
 

so Gnutella sucks because your OS sucks?
OK
Gnutella sucks because you don't know how to read and find out there are newer programs available?
OK

it sucks you are right and 2.5 million of us are wrong.

2 million!!??
 

You know it's funny that I only hear about how crappy gnotella is from just about everybody & then this individual adds some comment about 2 million people thinking this "program" is the bomb-What A Joke!! Where, pray tell, are these "2 million" "happy" users at? Because I can't see ANY of them-and I've Never had a problem with ANY of the other programs on my system the way this crappy-*** gnotella. It's next to impossible to download any damn thing & I share the frustration of the people on this thread-& trust me, I am NO stranger to any of this stuff, I have a super fast connection AND a fairly kick-your-*** system, so PUL-eez, don't give me a one line ridiculous answer about how everybody here is wrong & you are right.

gnotella? make that "NOT-tella"

With all due respect, there are 2 words to describe it and they are: Pure CRAP!!! (& that's being nice about it)

sucks
 

you are not alone in your frustration-I've Never had a P2P program perform as badly as this one & I find myself sitting for many more hours than I need to, hoping that as I conduct another futile search that maybe, Just maybe, something will give way & I'll be in happy download land...BUT, that has yet to happen & now it is 5:30 in the morning & I'm tired. And Frustrated to the max!
