Gnucleus now uses a web based cache system, and I came up with the idea!
BearShare doesn't have a hold on everyone anymore!
If you didn't know, all the current host caches for the last 4 or 6 months are using the BearShare one, just re-directing the link, or are using BearShare for the cache software.
If it wasn't for open source you wouldn't see this feature because commercial companies lose control, and they hate that.
Too bad now! Another weak link removed from Gnutella, now just block, block, block those commercial clients off the net!

"The final feature, new in 1.7.5 is actually something separate we created for increasing the survival of Gnutella. Its called GnuCache, a web based PHP script that acts as a host cache for gnutella nodes. The reason we developed this is so Gnutella becomes more fail-safe. Most gnutella clients rely on permanent host servers such as connect1.gnutellanet.com to find an entry into the gnutella network. Gnucleus is the only gnutella client not dependent on host cache servers"
