Yes it uses Dynamic Queries. Older search methods are not supported anymore.

Phex supports hashcode queries, though they are not generally supported on the Gnutella network. You can assume that your hashcode searches wont return very satisfactory results, they will usually get dropped very fast.
Check out ResearchSettings.startSearch()

I see there's also a feature to support the limewire's mojito DHT which may help with the firewall to firewall transfer. Is there any estimated time for this as well? |
We are looking for developers who would like to work on these topics. If you like to contribute you would be very welcome.

Yes that would be a very nice feature. We have some ideas how we would like to improve local network support. Though we currently don't have the time and resources to work on this topic. Like already mentioned above, we would be happy to get help.
