PEERahna has a pretty nasty user interface.. I don't know how that many people could have voted for it - didn't seem to work any better than any other generic Gnutella client, either..

Xolox has always been the only one that has worked half decently for me, I think because of the recursive searches - but now even it is going to crap..

I think the network has some serious problems. Possibly incompatibilities between clients, possibly it has outgrown itself - who knows.

WinMX still works wonderfully though - I get more results with it, but the major difference is that 90% of the files are downloadable, whereas with Gnutella clients it's only like 10% of the files that are downloadable.

I still have hopes for Gnutella, which is why I keep coming back here - but I gotta say, the last few times I have tried to find anything on there, things have looked pretty bleak.

Just my opinion.
