I think that projects like this are doomed to failure...unless FastTrack, Sharman & Grokster are put out of business entirely! Sharman will continue to release "upgrades" which do nothing more than block open or multi-network clients. They did it with giFT, Fileshare, Refosearch & others, they'll do it with RR! If the lawsuits do force them out of business, the protocol could finally become stable enough to be reverse-engineered. Until then, I'm more interested in the progress of the giFT clients.
