I found out what happened. Apparently, my provider changed something in his proxy settings, because gtk-gnutella was working fine a couple of months ago.
The problem is that getting the hostcaches is done via true http-requests which HAVE to go through my providers proxy. And here it goes wrong, gtk-gnutella does not honour http-proxies during the GET's for the caches. I do have a workarround: execute #for i in `tail -n 3`; do GET "$i?urlfile=1&client=GTKG&version=0.91.1" >>urls; done #for i in `cat urls`; do GET "$i?urlfile=1&client=GTKG&version=0.91.1" >>urls2; done #for i in `cat urls2`; do GET "$i?hostfile=1&client=GTKG&version=0.91.1" >>hosts; done The first command expands the number of webcaches from the 3 in the default list. The second command does this again, to achieve a nicely filled hostlist. The third command creates the actual list. Note, you better clean up the resulting list a little, for me, it sometimes contains remainders of HTML code. Enjoy...

I even tried to do 'unset http_proxy' befor launching.
