I agree, logically if you are a network administrator with 2000 users, you aren't going to be operating on a peer basis ... you're going to have at least one server somewhere ... probably several.

So basically, the more gnutella clients, the worse off the network is. There are a slew of clients listed at Gnutelliums , each with a different vendor, not to mention all the "home-grown" variations of the client.

If the vendors went to a pay-for client, things would improve. Any thoughts?
