1. John does constantly post this unfounded statement about freeloading. Currently we have a statistics from Oct 2000 [1], which says 70% of Gnutella users share no files. Is any other information available?
2. About which other networks are you talking? If you mean FastTrack or eDonkey you should better investigate the behaviour of those clients and will find out they have some anti-freeloading tactics implemented. Miao.
