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.....

Perhaps I have to state this clearly:

This is not the Anti-Bearshare or Anti-Vinnie forum. Whatever you think of Bearshare you can post in the appropriate forums (Bearshare or General). This forums is about Phex and Phex surely is not against Bearshare. I won´t fight any other gnutella program (as long as it´s not a leecher which Bearshare definitely isn´t).

So keep you opinion where it belongs but not here.

Bye,
Konrad

Perhaps Cycocide can open a FRUSTRATED UNREGISTRED forum....

Well, please stay fair, either.

I was not only refering to this unregistred in this thread but also to the vinnie kills phex thread.
I'm getting so tired of these vinnie this and that threads and almost always the spyware has to be mentioned..........pffffffff

(frustrated) RaaF

Konrad started the Vinnie crap (and understandably so)... and only 2 other threads (including this one) were spawned off from that one, not much to get tired over. I will agree with you if this does continue, if another thread pops up about bearshare and Vinnie and/or Michael those napster rejects, but I dont think it will and I dont think its worth talking about much more then this last post.

Plus it should be over now that Konrad is back (although I am not sure what that means anymore, just that its a good thing).

Anway we should all be helping people with questions, like the Linux Newbie I was trying to help...

There's only one more thing I like to mention:
If you're a regular poster and you stand for what you say, I think you should register.

[RaaF]

Btw, I don't think Konrad started any "vinnie crap" It was turned into crap by a unregistred

Well, technically you are right, what Konrad said was not "crap" because Vinnie was arrogant and I can understand why he wanted to leave because of it. I can also understand why some people would be ****ed off at Vinnie as well, while some of their claims outrageous, and I can see that Vinnie has a bad background (attitude problem as well, quite frankly I was not surprised when I heard why Konrad was quiting) and why some people chose to vent, it doesnt tire me any really, and I agree it doesnt really belong here much, but I have a higher tolerance then others.

I'm not the unregistered that started these alternate threads, but I did talk in them (as I am now). I dont think the Spyware crap is a big deal now.

Plus I am a transcient, going from website to website, and if I had to register to every website I visit, I would probably not have much time to post... as soon as things subside I probably wont come back here for a week, but because things are interesting now I'll stick around for a while, and I notice the Phex boards are not full of technical problems (that is either a good thing or a bad thing), so there is less reason for me to be a resident here...
