There isn't much left of once powerful MusicCity

It needs an oxygen tent and life support systems now.


"By compiling and measuring data available publicly to P2P program users, Bailey said Kazaa on average had 1.4 million users logged on at any given time during April. That is a jump of 69 percent over February, when roughly 830,000 users were simultaneously logged onto Kazaa on average.

Meanwhile, usage of Morpheus, once the largest peer-to-peer network, has gone in the opposite direction, according to Bailey. In February, the Morpheus system had 1.08 million users simultaneously on average. By April, Morpheus usage had dropped by 70 percent."

StreamCast has no one to blame but themselves for this situation. Morpheus has become more of a "P2P clown" rather than a presence in the P2P community, as a P2P application like iMesh is taken more seriously. We've been promised Morpheus 2.0 for almost 2 months, however StreamCast continues to use an outdated Gnutella client. At the very least, StreamCast could have kept up with Gnucleus, and resolved many of the bandwidth issues that have been driving Morpheus users away. If StreamCast has any consideration for its employees or its future, they should upgrade their software or become a permanent joke of the P2P community.
