Downloading

I think I might be doing this wrong or something, but do most gnutella clients allow you to download from it using a standard downloader like Internet Explorer? I made a client that can search for files across the network and makes a URL out of them, but I can never get it to work. It's mainly the IP and port that are bad actually. The IP and port appear to be fine, but they never work. Any suggestions?

Is this typical that the IP and port is fake?

Most Gnutella clients block Web browsers as Web portals cannot share files, but give only the ability to leech. This was done because there's already an imbalance between files sharing and file downloading and the fact that many Gnutella clients also limit their upload sessions due to OS restriction (Win 9x series can handly only so many at a time). Web portals, at this time, can badly affect the Gnutella users.

That's what I suspected.
