This will just waste a lot of traffic due to the overhead of handshakes. There really aren't many Gtk-Gnutella peers especially not Ultrapeers. > However I always seem to end up with all Limewire connections (in > bold). I still end up with BearShare only a couple of times. These must really do some arcane preferencing otherwise this island effect shouldn't occur. > Is this because satellite nodes (the greyed out ones) count towards the > totals? I think so, I'd have to check the code to be sure but you can do that too. It should be in src/core/nodes.c. > I don't seem to be seeing any other GTKG nodes. I don't see many either but I'm not really worried about that as long as we're compatible to LimeWire. This almost-mono-culture is the choice of the users. There isn't really anything bad I could say about the LimeWire developers and I don't even think they are too happy with this either albeit certainly not terrible sad. Well, there are some features added by LimeWire which are only documented in code and have been been published by them. Competition is always better and healthier. You can't blame LimeWire if the others silently retreat and they are besides Gtk-Gnutella and Phex the only developers which show up at the GDF. So the GDF is virtually dead. Most discussions consist of little more than an initial post, a monologue, or lead to nowhere. But why should LimeWire be bothered by those with far less than 10% network-share. Those vendors with still a little more users i.e., Morpheus, giFT etc. do not really seem to give a damn about anything discussed there. Especially those multi-network vendors cannot be bothered about a sub-optimal or downright broken Gnutella module. I also suspect Gtk-Gnutella lost a significant amount of users last year when all released versions had expired and no working release other than the code in CVS was available. -- Christian
