![]() Gnutella is good at surviving... popularity is another matter...
![]() The protocol looks good to me. The key elements of effective multisourcing are there; tiger tree is a good choice for hashing (allowing early verification of downloaded chunks); the supernode concept has been extended to 'node clusters' which opens up interesting possibilities for network self-organization. I think Gnutella is evolving nicely. It may well remain a somehat experimental network while the more serious filesharing takes place elsewhere.... ![]() ![]() - tg ![]() |

![]() Gnutella is known as a developer's network. Many of the people who want the experience of producing their own p2p program start there thus guaranteeing a steady stream of clients and debate. However if you just want a steady stream of movies and music you'll probably be better off elsewhere.
