I am [inapropriate language deleted] about the GDF which is slowing implementation of much needed features. Even if I wrote a gnutella client with these features it would not be supported by the general network until the GDF got its act together.


Hmm, someone else correct me if I am wrong but router.limewire.com is a host catch isnt it, not a reflector. A reflector is a gnutella client users can connect to the gnutella network through. They would stay connected and all searches would be sent to the network through the reflector client and all of their available uploads would be listed on the reflector and the reflector would return their hits for them so that they do not actually interact directly with the network.

And yes, we still need swarmed downloads!! JUst look at the popularity of xolox and it is still very unpolished and brand new.

GDF, get the file hashes, the metadata and the swarmed downloads worked out.
