Hi Bedelman

I would just like to add a few words of warning, hopefully, before you start downloading from the gnutella network.

1) Always check all files you download with an AV scanner, some of them (well, quite a lot really) are disguised viruses, which could wreck your PC.

2) Do not, under any circumstances, download any compressed files, e.g zip, rar, pdf, etc, it's a good 99% chance that they are viruses, worms or some other form of malware.

3) There are a lot of false files out there so be wary and do not abandon your common sense because that is the thing that will protect you on a potentially hostile and deceitful network.

4) Always keep your computer protection up to date, i.e. your anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall and malware blocker (stops unauthorised software communicating with dodgy web-sites without you knowing).

OK, once you are prepared you can enjoy using and adding to the gnutella network.
