I'm not trying to argue. I have huge success with bearshare. however, i have removed all bearshare host caches and still ended up with only other bearshare 2.3.0 hosts staying connected. (using gnutella and limewire caches). I just wonder if 2.30 somehow seeks out other bearshare hosts firsts when connecting?
It doesn't really matter to me. I manage to stay connected to hosts for hours (and this is on win 98) and get thousands of results for most of my searches...peace!
