Gnutella dilema update:

[Amputate Your Head]

last week I was crying about Bearshare...... well, the fucking thing still won't connect to anything.

A few people suggested some things:
Morpheus..... dead. No connection.
WinMX.... same thing.
Kazaa...... yeah right..... I don't fucking think so.
and there were a few others I tried..... none worked, and all I got was an assload of fucking adware and popups.

Well, I'm happy to report that I just installed the latest revision of Gnucleus.... that's right... OPEN SOURCE gnutella client baby.

Connects like a muther fucker and no fucking ads whatsoever.

I love it.

And now, thanx to persistence and the discovery of this kick ass client, I'm rockiin' out to new Default tonight.....

Just thought I'd share that...... carry on.

KazaaLite.

Run away from Gnutella. It's a useless bandwidth hog. It's a service that absolutely can not make it or grow past a certain point. At least not with todays technology. Try IRC. It's a little geeky, but a much better file sharing method. Technically speaking, anyway.

I was a favorite of LimeWire

Just found this too. It's a good read if you're a geeky type.

And if you don't want to read through all of that, here's the basics:

One important factor in evaluating the usefulness of the above is to consider the usage demographic. Current usage may show 3-5 queries per second with anywhere between 4,000 and 8,000 users, but if Gnutella were to ever grow in size, both by users and consequentially by files, search rates would likely increase dramatically. This would be for at least two reasons: more users equates to more people interested in locating content equates to more aggregate queries per second, and more content equates to wider variance in type of material equates to, quite simply, more to search for. So, applying query rates involving only thousands of users to GnutellaNet populations orders of magnitude greater in size is probably inaccurate; instead, at greater sizes, the above computed bandwidth rates are probably much too small. Indeed, one can extrapolate from the above, using the test case of 1,000,000 users:

8,000 users generate 5 queries per second, which simplified means
1,600 users generate 1 query per second, which then leads to
1,000,000 users / 1,600 users per query per second == 625 queries per second

Therefore it is more likely that, given an ideal GnutellaNet and a capable Internet, Gnutella would generate 625 queries per second with one million users instead of our test case of 5, which generates 4GBps worth of traffic just by itself. So how much data does a query rate of 625 qps generate? The calculation is left as a thoughtful exercise to the reader.
Most important of all, though, the above numbers assume a capable network connection exists for all participants. If networks weren't capable of relaying the amounts of traffic discussed above, traffic jams would occur and query rates would drop, query response rates would drop, and overall traffic rates, as a result, would drop. And we know they aren't capable; we know that a significant percentage of participants are dialup users, and their low bandwidth capabilities cause significant traffic congestion and topology fragmentation when improperly configured.

I don't use any of em hehehe used to use bearshare.

[Turboface]

I prefer FTP

Thanks for the heads up Mr. Your Head ....

I just DL'ed and installed it ... THIS APP KICKS ASS !!!!

I will use only this program for as long as it works as well as it does right now !! And being open source is cool as fuck too !!
Too bad the Napster open source did not get more mileage than it did ... mind you, it is what spawned Streamcast (Morpheus, Grockster, and KaZaA) ...

Now I can preview SHITLOADS more music before I buy it

[funkmaster]

... hey, does anyone know some url to find stats on how many ppl use those filesharing tools ... just curious ...

[Terenzo]

You.... THIEVES...

[Brujah]

What about XOLOX ? Anyone use it ?

Try Limewire, and Kazzaaakaaaza.

Limewire is good, but, late at night, it is nearly impossible to find anything... where Kazzazaaaza is pretty good all day/night.

[Jizar II]

Direct Connect is still fine

[Slick]

Kazaa Lite always rocks.
