advice needed - stable gnutella server

[assorted]

hey hey,

wondering if anyone that browses here runs a gnutella client serving 24/7 (like me). if so, i'd love some help.

i've so far tried bearshare and gnucleus. both are great in their own way; however both suck ass for 24/7 serving. i'm getting a crash a day from both of them. worse, the latest bearshare i have appears to have a memory leak (i'm sure it'll get fixed but it's a pain in my ass when stuff like this happens).

are there any stable gnutella network clients out there? i'll gladly trade user interface, even downloading features (which i can use gnucleus for) in exchange quite simply for a program that won't crash once a day.

(ps: i'm running win98se)

try xolox. no features at all. it's the most stipped down gnutella client i've ever seen (640k!). BUT, and this is a big one, it allows multi-sourced d/ls. as to long term stability i can't say much about that as i reboot every day anyway.

- js.

Don't have a clue because the link was sent to me about 40 minutes ago.... looks clean.

I haven't tried edonkey yet but XoloX seems to be stable. Haven't had it lock up on me. As js pointed out, it has multisourced d/l's. Worth a check.

Have you thought of running a hub on Direct Connect? It has 20,000 sharing as much as 600,000 on Morpheus. It's more personal and you can run it like your own kingdom.

I'm enjoying Xolox so far. Not bad on the memory, it seems (well, not as bad as BearShare).

Haven't tried edonkey yet simply because I think it's an entirely different network. Xolox seems cool though; thx for the tip.

Plus in bumming around on the forums I picked up MemTurbo, which should fix this regardless now.
