For most of these, the vendor is not known because Gtk-Gnutella never had direct contact with those. I don't believe the vendor limit is very reasonable considering that the vast amount of peers are LimeWire nodes, then BearShare and little the rest is something else. At the very least, the default vendor limit should be much more generous like 80-90%. Without these limits people are really connected instantly. The current vendor limit really causes a lot of unnecessary work and wastes resources. -- Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
