Oh did I forget to say that all ISPs could block
messages like Gnutella 0.4 and messages needed to
communicate between the clients?

They could also block the port 6346 which is used by
most of the clients.

OK, now its quite easy to encrypt the Gnutella 0.4 msgs
and change the port but that would take quite long to manage.
If all ISPs work against Gnutella it will become quite hard to
keep the structure working if all developers dont work together.
