Thanks EllisD

However, some of the info on that page is years out of date e.g.:

Quote:

Many problems have been identified with the legacy Gnutella network. For example there is ample research indicating that it cannot scale or that it uses too much overhead. But perhaps more importantly it lacks a clear set of network standards, which has led to a network of unequal clients and abusive behaviour, to the point that one client can consume 80% of the resources on the entire network!

IIRC, that was based on information from studies done before 2002! and the link for gnutella goes to the other gnutella forum.
