Thanks a lot for that prompt and helpfull answer.

I'm glad to be back to the Gnutella world with Phex. Looks fine, and has connected immediatly with 7 nodes - almost all telling they are running Lime Wire. That seems to be the matchwinner today.

Hm, I admit that giFT is outdated, and was perhaps never a genuine Gnutella client. First I used gtk-nutella. But the I turned to giFT because it was so cool in his minimalism and with the ncurses interface unbeatable fast on my oldtime compaq machine. But OK, they have gone...

Will see now what's happen out there actually with my quite slow, but new java-Phex. My first impression is not the best, I must say. There are terrible many spammers... May be, the real world is to evil for such good things like p2p.
