To me it appears that the Gnutella net may be being attacked by one or more of the anti piracy companies out there. I have been seeing more of this type of post recently. I have found a couple of software programs on the net that used to have 300 to 500 search results then all of the sudden have 20,000. To me this says servers are suddenly showing up with 1000s of copies of files are they any good? I don't know I haven't tried to DL any of them and I wouldn't. This is either a sting operation designed to track people or a flood operation designed to make P2P virtually useless. You might want to check out the links below one is about this type of behavior. The other is one of the companies that does this type of thing advertisement.
