This can be nice for web-forums, but it might drain p2p-networks.
People may download from the general net but share only to a specific group. That is "using gnutella as kickstart" revamped, but now for many small networks.
Gnutella doesn't get more uploaders this way.
So it is kinda dangerous to implement, but it could also strengthen the Gnutella network, when files downloaded from the general net are automatically shared in the general net, and have to be explicitly marked private, to be taken out of that share.
So it is a bit sensitive, but it is also something, which many users want (I'd also kinda like to be able to do it). Besides (out of caution): Advertising in this board about anything which is not directly useful as tool for writing Gnutella-related software, is prohibited (and will be deleted). |
