I was trying to avoid his thread, but oh well, here it goes, us developers (bearshare, limewire, gnucleus, etc...) are working our asses off day and night, building a better network.

Gnutella would have died off long ago if it wasn't for the constant competition between the clients you see today. For example, LimeWire implemented Ultrapeers, BearShare and Gnucleus are putting it in now too. BearShare added searching and sharing files by hash and the rest of us rush to implement it also. Multi-Source downloading was the product of Xolox's proof of concept and the rest of the gnutella clients put it in shortly after that. And many more features and additions to gnutella have been made over the years, as developers come and go, many have been transparent to you guys.

Instead of being paranoid about whats going on, you can just ask simple questions on a forum like this if there' something you don't understand. All the developers are aware that the most important part of gnutella is the user, and the future evolution and success of gnutella will onlly be determined by your satisfaction with what we create.
