About this TTL, AFAIK the GDF developers agreed to a highest TTL of 7 because higher values are not reliable but this doens´t mean that higher values harm the net!

Yikes, thought you knew that one
The higher the TTL, the more clients it will reach, the more traffic it will generate, the more people will be complaning - usually in that order
Nevertheless, you can set the TTL to 255, but it won't get passed most modern Gnutella clients at around hop 6 or 7. The early version of NullSoft's Gnutella (0.54 i believe) had a bug in it, which it didn't lower the TTL. Messages just kept going on, causing the network to get really messed up.
