Gnutella has a problem

[acealmighty13]

There is a new p2p client on the horizon if people want to check it out...its called Seeker, and they released their Alpha sometime this week i'm not sure...I think Seeker's main concern is tackling the scalibility concerns that Gnutella has

http://www.skyris.com/alpha.html

looks pretty solid but not many users yet i think

"I tried to put my work in the Gnutella project some time before Blubster, but it was a bit chaotic to get your ideas heard."
Says creator of Blubster on Zeropaid http://www.zeropaid.com/news/articles/auto/04222002a.php

"BearShare is awful, and I think that Vinnie guy should either play by the Gnutella rules or design his own network."

Ahh - I can see the confusion.

This is an illusion caused by the large number of Morpheus users that migrated to Gnutella.

They don't "replace" other clients ultrapeers with their own, there's just a lot of them.

Well, that's where we disagree. IMO, it's everyone's right not to share if they don't want to (or can't for some reason). And I don't agree with treating these people any different on the network just because that's the choice they made.

They are connected directly to BearShare. You see, that is how file transfer takes place on Gnutella, peer to peer.

You're getting confused between host connections and file transfer connections. You can read up on the protocol here.

Regardless, the point here is that dr. damn has claimed that users with other clients are unable to access the files bearshare users are trying to share. This is obviously not true.

[luminortm]

this is obviously not true!

If you can't find a non-bearshare client (by accident) which itself is connected to a Bearshare client (by accident again), you can not download any file from Bearshare clients! While bearshare clients cluster together, it is hard to find such a relayed connection to a Bearshare client. When running statistics, you'll see Bearshare does play a minor role and will advantage itself.

Please stop flooding with wrong information.

I'v already been connected to BearShare nodes with GTK-Gnutella & LimeWire.

Oh come now Sephiroth, Moak et al are doing exactly what you suggest, venting their furstrations and trying to best articulate their beliefs about problems in the Gnutella network. Of course if those problems are real, then Gnutella must have got worse since Bearshare and LW grew into the huge clients they are toda, so the "new lows" statement is quite justified.


They already have, and you have already replied with your opinion of their views, so let's leave it at that.

Sephiroth...

Nosferatu is right you are flooding... you repeat over and over again the same! You called others trolls too, you are whining EVERY time when somebody DON

[Mr. Dyer]

Morg,
You'll notice Moak has done the same thing. I don't know how many threads he's started or taken onto his anti-bearshare/limewire soapbox. We've all read it and at this point it's just trolling.
