Gnutella users grew 50% in a month

[backmann]

30 days ago there were 220.000 people using the gnutella network. Now there are 352.000.

wow they must be almost 9 feet tall by now...

Excellent news, I'm glad to see that people are converting from kazaa, and also that some old grudges may be lifting against the network.

For those of you who don't like/haven't used Gnutella, seriously give it a try. Its been my primary network for 3 years, and it has made amazingly progress. I would suggest either Bearshare (my fav) or Limewire, the 2 big Guntella clients.

Wow! That sure is great! This means I will have even more people to connect to and get my 128K mp3s of popular music. It is sunny times for gnutella; let all of the haters back down!

This is all due to the awesomeness of the new Shareaza and BearShare, I am sure. Perhaps Vinnie and Mike will eventually work together to make a better protocol. Then it will really rule!

With the fantastic news about WinMX still being worked-on and the comeback of Gnutella, it is like we are back in 2000! Old protocols will never die!

Wow, dude... what did you just smoke? That's the most optimistic post on here I've ever seen. It's total sarcasm right, or am I just stoned myself?

Hey man, this is a great reason to be totally psyched!

With all of the people leaving kazaa, they come to these sweet networks and add their content to the networks! I am sure that these new users will first delete their fake files, since they are now awesome enough to be using these protocols.

Why not be optimistic? Life is too short to be hung up on things dude!

I hope all this will happen but ya never know what evil some people come up with (RIAA, etc) to screw over the networks...

[notbob]

and my "Gnutella users grew 50% in a month" joke was completely ignored

oh well

I think it was more due to this forum having some of the slowest witted people on the internet. Then again, I thought the joke was pretty lame anyway (even if it was intentionally cheesy). Perhaps I wasn't the only one.

[This is the part of my post where I pretend to care what this thread was really about.] Yeah, Gnutella is really great! I'm so happy that a significantly crappier protocol compared to other more modern networks is retaining its user base and gaining! Bearshare rox! (Do you think I should have included the sarcasm indicators ? I wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong idea about this post.)

I'm not suprised it is going up.With people pushing away from kazaa, they look for the clients with the most updates and they all seem to support gnutella these days. People see limewire go ad free, so they jump on it. Shareaza has always been a favorite, Morpheus and it's clones are all over the place now, and all the smaller multiple network clients seem to revolve around gnutella, probably since the network seems to be so easy to access. I'd be more interested to see which clients people are using, since a lot probably use multiple network ones and really have no interest in gnutella at all.

I completely missed the joke Notbob. Far too sophisticated for me!

[I know it is plagiarism, but it is so accurate to my thoughts that it wasn't worth me saying anything else - thanks alliercollins]

[Christoph]

yea!where is the joke?

[mcovey]

I always thought that gnutella would be the place where all the old kazaa users would go, because limewire was well known. I dont think many of them will migrate to edonkey, because edonkey seems to have a diff. crowd, music usually comes in slow on that network.

Decentralized is the way to go. G2 is my fav, followed by gnutella, but hey, to each his own.

Most people are using Bearshare and Limewire.

I can't find the page right now but they are way beyond Shareaza and Morpheus.

i'm using BearShare as my Gnutella client...it's a awesome !

[richiwish]

uh no... most people are using MindGem (maybe not most, but a lot) and not long ago they www.mindgem.com - must have been receiving thousands of new users per day as they were giving away their software for free... MindGem connects to the Gnutella network, right? I use it and love it, but it is quite complicated to setup, at least with my router.

[John W. Lindh]

MindGem connects to ed2k and it is just another eMule clone.

[richiwish]

interesting, thanks - i downloaded eMule and MindGem is almost the same, but nicer.

I would suggest either Bearshare (my fav) or Limewire, the 2 big Guntella clients. I use Limewire. No Spy or Adware. Whereas Bearshare has bundled suff in it. I have very good and fast results with Limewire compared to alot of the other P2P programs. Which is cool:gj :;)
