as far as i know, gnutella is a decentral p2p protocoll, that means that there is no server you can shut down.

so i am a bit confused that you want to discontinue xolox and not only stop programming.

and what about stopping the development and release the source code as open source....

xolox is the best gnutella client that i know. it would be very bad for me if it wouldn't work any more...
