I found that sharing more than 200 files or so, makes Gnotelle very unstable, doesn't respond, freezes up und uses up huge CPU activity (not Gnotella.exe itself but that stupid add-on since V96 aFileDB.exe).

You can actually 'kill' aFileDB.exe after Gnotella has connected to some hosts and it still seems to work happily away, much much faster und hardly any CPU usage.
But don't use Setup and apparently it won't share files, but I am not sure. Try it anyway.

It is a good client, but a bit hungry on process power and cannot handle sharing too many files, e.g. over 200 I think.

I use Wi*** and 56K.
