Maybe you didn't noticed, but I tried to help you.

Hmm mm .. often in these forums 'help' is disguised as authoritarianism .. or is it the other way around, anyway ...

Every time a new connection is made with a new gnutella-node, all the searches you have are sent to those new nodes with 10 seconds between every search. So you don't have to adjust the re-search time to search a new node.

Thanks for this info. If it is true, then there really is something wrong with gtk-gnutealla 0.91 afaics.

I genuinely have seen my a) ability to maintain stable connections and b) search results diminish drastically with each upgrade since about 0.89. Downloads usually never finish either, but this is probably unrelated and more to do with the files I have been trying to get and the people sharing them.

And yes, gnutella in its current implementation is broken because it isn't healthy to research every 3 minutes. Hein

Personally I am soo skeptical about your information above, for one reason: if your description is accurate, then continually breaking connections and making new ones should INCREASE my search results. But as I have said, it most certainly has not.

Do you have any references for either the theoretical models, computer models, or practical demonstrations of the theory that searching every 3 minutes is 'harmful' to the gnutella network? How is the 'harm' measured, and what outcomes were given priority? For which types of gnutella connections was it considered 'harmful', and were there any types of connections where it is 'not harmful' or 'less harmful'?
