One question regarding Descriptor IDs...
How come I get descriptor IDs like ?®ƒCÒ_åA¿1,ëÖçu| from Gnucleus & LimeWire?
When I connect my client with Shareaza I get GUIDs like B4D7F325DA144026,
the type which my client used to send too.

I dont know if the information is important but I'm creating GUIDs with CoCreateGuid
My client (Suicide) is coded in VB 6.0, I made following type.

Public Type descriptor_header
descriptor_id As String * 16 '<- The GUID
payload_descriptor As Byte
ttl As Byte
hops As Byte
payload_length As Single
End Type

Have I forgotten something? Or is the descriptor I get from Gnucleus also valid?
