Sounds like the only thing that this modification blocked was the ability for bs users to download from you.
Congratulations, you are now a proud freeloader off, not the people who made bs, but users just like you.
--------------------------------
How do you know I am a freeloader?
I can watch in real time as GNUTELLA CONNECT clients bounce off my client, because we reject them.
We use the same code to reject them, as they SHOULD use to reject us, if they comply in any way with the gnutella protocol.
Unfortunately, BS is closed source, so I can't think of an easy way to test whether it enforces the gnutella handshake correctly.
Can you?
It is quite feasible that someone has hacked a BS client, even though they would need to hack the binary. This is trival.
I know people with absolutely no programming knowledge who have been doing this type of hack for nearly 10 years, and still don't care or no about programming.

So you came on here misrepresenting what your client was doing with the intention of getting people to freeload on the gnutella network. Does that about sum it up?

No he didn't misrepresent what the client does or what it blocks. He said exactly what he has done to modify the client.
It is not fully blocking. It doesn't block pings or pongs, AFAIK.
I can't see an easy way to do so without changing the protocol a fair bit, and it should not be necessary as long as hostcaches and user clients don't run on a port which has recently been used by a normal gnutella client.
I won't bring in any other posts such as Morgwen's, since it is only Mr Gone who maintains that he knows exactly what we are doing and why it is so terrible for the network, and that he isn't being a troll or a liar.
Sonn again in this thread

If there was ever a client that should be blocked from gnutella this is the one. Yeah, we all know bs and lw prefer bs and lw nodes, but at least they haven't targeted specific clients to "leech only" from. The people who get screwed in this situation are the end users.
So take your client elsewhere, build your own network, and stop trying to do damage the gnutella network.
(And to reiterate what morg has said: <I>Just because you use a different port does not mean you are using a different network! There are already plenty of us out there that run gnutella clients on ports other than 6346 or 6347.</I>)

Substantiate your claim that we are trying to damage the gnutella network.
We are doing more than just using different ports. You didn't read anything that we posted so far, or you just didn't understand what you read.
Next posting in the thread...

1.) How do you know they all have files shared?
2.) It is freeloading off of those people that are blocked from downloading but not uploading.
--------------------------------
Which clients are blocked from downloading but not uploading? I don't see how this is possible from the changes which we have made. Again substantiate your claim.
You are making insinuations and accusations without providing any basis whatsoever.
in the same posting:
--------------------------------
<LI><I>did you read the source code? all I see is modified connect strings and those aint used to down/upload, heck you can use a browser it dont use those connect strings.</I></LI>
Didn't need to read the source code, the guy who made this already admitted to one way blocking.
--------------------------------
Well, you admit you didn't read the source code.
How can you comment at all? You are a big hairy ***********.
in the same posting:
--------------------------------
So I say, get out. You want your own network then put some effort into making it. Don't just sit here and leech off people because their politics don't match your own.
--------------------------------
Again you accuse us of leeching. Provide some proof.
Here you lie:

I have a constuctive comment. You are in the wrong place, find a new home.
--------------------------------
The above is not a constructive comment. It is you telling us to f*ck off. That is not constructive.
This is an appropriate place for a discussion of clients using the gnutella protocol, even if in a form modified to establish a separate network. Do you really expect us to have a forum dedicated to this project at such an early stage?
A couple of postings later in the same thread:

Either way it has no place on gnutella.
1) If you are a new network then stop trying to freeload off gnutella.
2) If you are not a new network then you are intentionally attacking other gnutella clients and damaging the network. Also not very welcome here.
--------------------------------
You claim we are trying to freeload off gnutella, or intentionally attacking other clients.
You don't just say that we are incidentally and accidentally doing this, which we are not anyway, but you don't even qualify your ridiculous rhetoric to that degree. You straight out allege that we are <B>trying to freeload off gnutella, or intentionally attacking other clients.</B>
This is a very serious allegation. Please provide proof, or I will ridicule you on site until I get bored.

So in return you post anti-bearshare and anti-sephiroth propaganda.
You haven't proven either of these accusations, and you haven't offered any real information. You've only given conjecture regarding what someone else's priorities may be, and you've claimed that conjecture to be true and correct.
--------------------------------
I think this is a fair summary of the majority of Seph's postings I have seen.
Would you like me to do the same for S as I am doing for you?
You'll have to wait a few days, I'm going on holiday.
later in same post:
--------------------------------
propaganda
n.
The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause.
information that is spread for the purpose of promoting some cause
Your statements obviously fit the above definition. So it appears you should work on your own poor system of ethics before attacking what you perceive someone else's to be.
--------------------------------
Yours and Seph's certainly do. You should clean up your own back yard first.
But even assuming yours wasn't propoganda,

I've made it pretty clear what I think.
And the proper way to counter propaganda is to educate people with real information, not by spreading more propaganda.

Well, you haven't provided even one iota of information. Where is it? You <I>didn't even read the source code</I>.
After this point, nearly everyone starts trolling and flaming (I wonder why they might do that, Gone? Did you maybe <I>provoke</I> them?)
Then cheeky enough to post:

For everyone claiming that someone else is lying:
Quote the "lie", explain why you think it is a lie, give your version of the truth, and site and post links to your proof.
If not you don't have a leg to stand on.

And yet you find it impossible to quote what I said that was either uninformed or a lie.

Another incorrect piece of information. I did not find it impossible, I just didn't want to pollute the thread and waste my time, but you have extended this thread to about 3 times the length it should be (ie diluted the content by 1/3) so I might as well, plus I think you need a good whack on the head to make you think twice next time you want to go **** and ***.
More lies:

If they are uninformed, then qoute the statement, correct the information given, and site your sources. If they were boring or useless they wouldn't have brought up so much conversation.
And yes, they are very provoking. They provoke you to think critically about the topics at hand, which is something that apparently offends you.
Open your mind.

Well, quoting and <?I>citing</I> is what <I>I'm</I> doing now.
Boring and useless, yes they were. They did not provoke on-topic conversation, they have provoked a lot of abuse and trolling.
You are a troll.
Why don't you open your mind? Because your one brain cell might escape?
You should open your mind to the possibility that people such as us might be able to do something useful to some people, and which we enjoy, without causing any harm to the existing gnutella network, and provide an alternative for those who don't want to have anything to do with the commercial gnutella clients.
But I guess you are too full of fear to allow that idea in your head.
Or you just enjoy trolling.

No, you pointed out the weakness of nobody, where, you underline your big ego again. making down others with no arguments, means increasing your own position, blowing up your your own ego.
--------------------------------
Gone, you point out where you "pointed out the weaknesses of our position".
**** typically accuse others of their own despicable behaviour.
Here is an example of Mr Gone * again:

Unregistered, you can bitch and whine and flood this forum with posts about how much you hate me. But that only reenforces that fact that you have nothing of content to contribute to the discussion.
So put up or shut up.

Funny considering so far none of you have been able to quote a statement of mine and prove it false. You've just kicked and screamed like little children.

Again you misrepresent the facts. Either you are deliberately misrepresenting the facts, or you just can't think straight.
Whether we are able to do something, and whether we choose to do it, are two separate things. This is very simple to understand.
Again, see this posting for the proof you desperately require.
Again with the accusing others of one's own despicable behaviour:

Do you know what "put up or shut up" means in this context?
It means put up some relevant content and quit acting like a child.

You should put up or shut up, troll.
Next occurs lots of flooding. The channel quickly fills up with mindless drivell. I guess we must be doing something right to attract so much trolling.
Mostly it is just Gone asking for the proof of **** (see above). No one wanted to provide this because it is already read by anyone reading this thread, and it is senseless to duplicate something which people have already read.
But I am doing just that, because he is such an ****, someone needs to make an authoritative record of just what an **** he is, which can be referred to in future by anyone else that he asks for proof of his own lies. It will save future troll sessions, trust me.

No, the burden of proof does not instantly lie with Unregistered. In over 20 .. 30 .. 50? posts to this thread you have demonstrated complete lack of understanding of the topic. You have made very serious allegations against us. It is up to you to provide some proof of either your 'facts' or your competency to make judgements of a technical nature in this field.
In your own words, <I>you have made a lot of accusations</I>.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. <B>You</B> are the pot calling kettle black.
