What do you think why this is called "handshaking"???
All clients which are in "actice" developement use 0.6! So tell me why they donīt work out a new protocol with all new features that "all" other clients can use them too?
This is improving the network!
Perhaps you can remeber as Xolox developed multi-source-downloads (the first Gnutella client), how angry Vinnie was that they are not in the GDF and share their ideas... and why does Vinnie donīt share HIS ideas? This is called promotion, now he can claim he has sha1 hashes and nobody else has...
Vinnie commercials interest have the highest priority and the network improvement, I mean the whole network not only a part of it, have only a low priority!
So tell me why there is NO cooperation?
Its easy... other non commercial developer have not the time and money to create the features in the same time - if Vinnie donīt share his ideas he have in several months a better client than all others, so now the majority of the users decide to use his client (and Limewire) - the others die... more user = more money!!!
But the other developer donīt care, they want to improve the network and share their ideas...
I have to repeat, why does Vinnie improve his own net and not GNUTELLA???
What he is doing, is creating a new own network! He talked over a year ago about creating his own network... do you really think this is the last step?
