I can connect to different hubs, but searches bring in few results.
It seems to be a stable platform, and the network shows terrabytes of data, I use sygate firewall and AT&T broadband, direct connect see's the network and connects to it (sygate gave no probs) queued items stay in the queue as do requests to browse user files.
Could GnutellaForums open an alternative area for other forms of p2p and sharing, maybe just for interest sake. I use gnutella based progs, and also explore other forms file transfer (ftp, direct connect..), and i sure that others do to. I know this is a gnutella based forum but discussion about these other programs can spark renewed intrest, ideas and keep it about file sharing.

Just rambling!
