Those hosts/connections have been gone for too long, now. I've tried everything that is advised everywhere on the Net, with pointers (about Gnotella and LimeWire) that come from very qualified people. No joy; still the twittering single line, still the word "Connecting..." and still no connections, no matter how long I try.

Am I the only one, I wonder, who dreads the concept of returning to further episodes of the "Remotely Queued Transfer Error Show", otherwise known as Napster. Just as Napster appears to be dying, and we need Gnotella, etc., more than ever, along come these apparently unresolved, still largely unexplained failures to connect.

Somewhere, I heard that I should go to...

"http://www.gnutella.com/"

...and I'll find the answers, there. When I got there, I saw...

"it's all okay.

today: 28,756
total: 7,306,876"

[ I won't pretend TOTAL understanding what that means, being new to the Net, but it looks like a self-patting on the back and an unfounded reassurance given to those visiting the Gnutella site. ]

Does it appear to anybody else that there is something nobody is telling them, at Gnutella.com? ...like, for example, that, while they are celebrating with enigmatic digits, there is a trivial point not beind addressed by them, like that...OUR FILE TRANSFER SOFTWARES ARE NO LONGER TRANSFERRING FILES?
