gbrayut is flying high
Unhappy Doesnt work as well as i though

Well, i'm sorry to say that when i restarted xolox
and tried it again, it didnt work as well as i had
hoped. And when i tried removing all the entries in
the hostlist file, and using gnucache to connect,
it was even worse. I played around with gnucache and
gnotella, and it appears that when you connect to
gnucache, it sends you a few ip numbers (usually 20-
100) and then disconnects. This really doesnt help
too much. Also i must say that xolox's connections
are pretty bad. It doesnt stay connected to a host
for very long (under 30 mins) and i still havent
been able to get it to connect to my own ip number.
Anytime i add my own ip number to xolox, it doesnt
even try to connect (atleast not that i have seen)


Now that i know this, i am going to try, in my spare
time, to look through the source code for gnucache
and try to come up with a gnutella server program
that has the sole purpose of connecting to 10+
servents. Gnucache is open source, made in visual
basic, and i also found a VB gnutella client with
source code, so i think between the two i can put
something together. I also thought of adding in a
feature that takes the ip addresses from www.gnufrog.com
and tries to connect to them first. Then i could use
this program as a connection backbone to the network
for xolox. Its worth a try atleast.
