Bearshare Blocking Gnutella Client ! heh
No it is not ready, or even in the works really...
How about it tho ?
A client that would download from any client but would not show any files or allow uploads to Bearshare. Since it would have only a few users it could be updated VERY often to nullify any attempts that the Bearshare developer might make to defeat the Bearshare blocking feature. (did that make sense ? ) : )
Bearshare is a fine piece of work, but it is windoze only & is loaded with SpyWare !
... yuck , Vinnie you are flat out tricking your userbase into using bearshare , if your average windoze user even knew what spyware was he/she would probably download LimeWire instead (same features, same price)
One might assume that Bearshare users :
A: dont know or care to know much about the program they're using ( if they did they wouldnt download a spyware filled program)
B: are less likely to share lots of files or do stuff like leaving their high-bandwith computer on all night to feed the network which us open-source junkies will often do : )
C: they are less likely to care about the Gnutella community ...
Hmmmm perhaps this is not a good idea after all... My Post is starting to sounds like a bunch of Elitist garbage...
I retract everything i have said
Peace, Love & Gnutella !
Something to keep in mind tho in case GreedBagMcBearShareDeveloper &GnutellaInventor decides to make bearshare proprietary or include adds or..... |
