Question Gnutella newbee

Hello all.
Doing file sharing for a long time, never used gnutella clients though. I'm wondering... 2-3 years ago, using Napster, I got to find looaads of rare and live and demo and boot stuff of my favourite bands. Now, using different P2P, I just can't seem to find that anymore. Is it me, or is it just the way it is?
Thanks everybody for your suggestions.
Kim

Gnutella is the largest P2P network. If you cannot find it here then it is probably not online

Heh that's not true at all. Gnutella is not the largest; even if it were, connecting to the largest network is not always the best way to find rare files.

Try searching with KaZaA, Blubster, Filetopia, SongSpy, etc.

FileTopia is a great new system.
Only problem: Damn bad GUI and no search results + hard for newbies to use (Hell it took so long for me to understand what it was about!)

You could typically search the entire network with Napster since it was centralized. But those types of networks are easier to shut down. You can't search all Gntuella nodes at once since that would progressively generate too much traffic.

Hello!

Believe me Gnutella is by far the biggest P2P network around without any competition atleats user wise.

Here are the stats:

Gnutella:117 million users worldwide(Morpheus client by far dominating with a user base of 90millions)
Kazaa and other Fast Track clients:81million users worldwide
AudioGalaxy:30 million users worlwide(Now however AG is to be considered discontinued or out of business)
Imesh: (own system with centralised servers):27 million Users Worlwide
Win MX(combination of Napster technology and P2P:3 million users Worldwide
Direct Connect: (Despite the fact that it is the smallest network it due to the content type of many large movies has the largest amount of data available even more then on Gnutella totally 1petaByte of data available:500000 users Worlwide

Question

Ok, Joakim,
Number of user (Members) on the network sound impressive, But If you take AG they had over 10 Billion songs on line and over 25 billion total songs (offline and other problems) that was only songs. No program or movies. They had over 750 million songs swaped every day!!!
