Not sure what a GUID is or how it works (I can surmise it's some sort of address similar to an IP address, except used by gnutella?). Regardless, thanks for the info. Uploads are still crawling along. I always figured that with a share library the size of mine, people would just find me by virtue of searching.

BTW, I did just install the new hostiles list - first time I've used one. I'd never really perused these forums before, but I could see that a lot of the supposed hits were probably bogus, since there's no way that many of them could be busy at once - the math just didn't add up.

I saw your posts over at Technutopia too, so I'm guessing you probably know this: How much of the gnutella infrastructure is actually "peer to peer" and how much is reliant of the manufactures of the software? The latter matters (as with newer versions of BS), since if they are involved, they could tinker with traffic, searches, etc.

Thanks again

Nick
