hi all you out there,

i have been following a couple of these discussions going on out there with interest (although often more rant than discussion, but ...).

there is this option in BearShare - think it's only in the file and not in the gui - to turn of the notifications. wouldn't this stop the client from sending these encrypted packets? i mean, this would ensure you (the user) is not transmitting any personal data and at the same time allow vinnie to have his versioning information (since there are enough to send them and the client would still receive them).

just an idea which might help us to get rid of this discussion ...
