What are you trying to do? have a network that only uploads to each other, like fasttrack?

How is Limewire not open source? I cvs Limewire at Limewire.org all the time. I also am a Pro user, because I want to support their efforts and bandwidth costs. $8.50 isn't that much money, and besides, they are improving the network.Too cheap for that? clean limewire (if they didn't become firewire, lol) might be back.

I also cvs Gnucleus , and try to make constructive suggestions for improvement in that client also. Swabby was totally professional when morpheus grabbed his code for commercial gain. Do you see him typing a bunch of negative shi t about them? No, and you probably won't either. He just keeps improving his client, and Ultrapeers is on his todo list, along with other cool stuff.

GodX fixed his Peerahna client so that it works on NT when I reported that bug. His client isn't open source, are you going to block it? Or Xolox?Gnotella?

In short, what you are doing is worse than what BS and LW are doing, since they are adding something to the experience.
