Morgwen, thanks but it's easy to just start a new thread.
Moak & Nosferatu, keep up the good work, thanks.
Adam, "They are constantly pushing us to add things like user registration, and we have repeatedly refused."
But you and the others may not always be there, and then corporate greed types will jump on the chance and we all get screwed.
I hope you can find a new, real job soon.

[First on the way!]

AFisk,

I sure hope you didn't make that nice reply out of political motivations for PR reasons!

Oh now I see Mrgone's point, he is another Bearshare maniac, good to know.

Kutulus: ("download mesh" and "swarming")... this way we can have an advantage over limewire
mrgone4662: I think we already have plenty of those :-)
Kutulus: well we need more bragging rights, so those zeropaid bitches can go shut their mouths

This is not a BearShare only issue.

Blocking IPs has been done for quite some time now in most clients, no one has removed that feature and you can just about do the same thing with it manually so what is the difference?

@Visitor: Yes, it is ineffective, for the moment. but you must understand that the original gnutella protocol was not designed for anything like ultrapeers. this system adds ultrapeer functionality to the network and still is 100% backwards compatible, that is amazing. it will definitely become more effective as more servents implement ultrapeers. old servents were not designed for it and of course they don't support it. extending open protocols is not easy and it always needs time.

Blocking other users in an attempt to diminish their quality of service just so you can push your political agenda is abusing the network.

This is a free network. Meaning (in part) that each user has the right to choose whichever client they wish to use, without reprisal.

Your attempt to splinter gnutella along partisan lines is ethically reprehensible.
