So, you think Gnutella sucks? Perhaps it is you that sucks. The Gnutella community was designed so that people can share files. The problem is that there exists too many leeches who prefer to download and not allow uploads. Maybe they are thinking that they can maximize their bandwidth by not sharing. But to you I say "you reap what you sow". Stop complaining about download speeds and availability. YOU may be the cause. I have a DS-1 on the internet and my Gnutella shares seven open high speed connections. Yet, it is difficult for me to download a damned thing because-----NOBODY FREAKING SHARES JACK SQUAT. So, if you're complaining, SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE or LEAVE THE COMMUNITY.
