Quoting Christian Biere <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from ml.softs.gtk-gnutella.devel: :I'm not sure what's meant with "exploit". GWebCaches have always been :free for all and for a very long time, Gtk-Gnutella did not have its :own bootstrap servers. It's actually a huge leap backwards that we :seem to need client-specific bootstrap servers. It shows that a :minority of egoistic and incompetent minds is successfully destroying :the spirit anf infrastructure of an once open and vendor-independent :protocol and network.
I just want to ensure a viable fallback for GTKG peers should the GWC system fail one day. The UHC system uses far less bandwidth than GWCs today, but it is unusable by UDP-firewalled clients, and it is also probably less (ab)used than GWCs currently. But perhaps the solution is not to build a GTKG-specific server. Perhaps the solution is to create a binary protocol over TCP that would use much less b/w than the current GWC system? With only ~20 GWCs worldwide and the amount of traffic generated, the current system is doomed in the long run. It needs to be made more efficient, and/or mode widespread.
