Hi!

Why don´t you register?

I know you from gnutella.com... you are working on a client too!

Morgwen

yeah welcome here!
....and I know the name of your client.... it's 'Joetella'. :-)

PS: Great idea, Phantom. I'm working on a P2P chat study. I let you know if something usefull comes out from that.

Yes, its me.

I've Been working on a VB client ... its starting to take shape.. maybe by spring I'll release some beta copies....

VB? I like VB. But isn't it a little bit slow for Gnutella?

Slow , yes it can be. I need to be carefull .. I'm not using strings at all (very slow in VB) .. and treating all network traffic as byte arrays which helps a lot ! ... I have no problem mataining 7 peers on my ADSL line with <10% cpu ...
Running it all on one thread is a little tricky too, I'm currently running it on VB6 .. hopefully once I move up to VB.NET I can have seperate threads for peers/upload/downloads

I also wanted to start a client using VB but my programming skills aren't good enough to fix the speed problems... and i can't do c++ stuff.. that's what i want to do in future.

Just an idea for far future...
To show if a Gnutella servant has buildin chat support, we can use GUID-Tagging. I personally see in a P2P or IRC chat such a important feature that I reserved a bit in my GUID-Tagging proposal (Appendix B: New GUID-Tagging).

that's really fine. but is Gnutella connect 0.7 as you describe it a really coming standart?
well, i'd be lucky if it works.

no, those 0.7 proposals are just my wired ideas.
