Announcing new gnutella magnet link forum

[John W. Lindh]

I set up a small forum for magnet links on Gnutella (and Gnutella only). This is not really supposed to rival Sharereactor (RIP) or Suprnova, but if you have some nice files you would like to share, you can post them there.

Users of Shareaza or GnucDNA-based clients might not be able to make use of all the links posted there because they don't support the necessary additions to the Gnutella protocol.

Oh well... i actually only use Morpheus (GnucDNA-based) and Shareaza so looks like this is pretty useless to me. Nice idea, and website though.

Well, the problem is that the whole idea behind this site is that arbitrary Gnutella clients on the network could act as a (bittorrent-like) tracker which requires compliance with the latest download mesh proposal. GnucDNA decided to use its own non-standard version of the Gnutella-download mesh and a Shareaza node has to be connected to Gnutella to be able to download from other Gnutella servents (which it does not by default).

Shareaza will handle those magnet links and start the download, - it can even enter the download mesh to some extent but I don't think it supports enough of the new proposal to utilize the full power of the new download mesh. I'm very busy at university btw., in a couple of weeks I will try writing a new kind of tracker in php that will be fully usable for Shareaza.

Yea, I have kept an Eye on this site for about 2 weeks now I believe. It does seem to have a lot of potential especially for the Gnutella/Limewire Community.
