Hello All!
I currently own my very own, shiny brandnew .com. My ultimate goal for this recent purchase is to make an online Gnutella Server/File tracker, much like Gnufrog orAsiaYeah. I was wondering if anybody could give me any pointers, tips, or suggestions for going about this. I do know Perl, HTML, PHP, JavaScript, CGI, C/C++, a little ASP and a little Java. If anyone can recommend a language to write this in, that would be great. If anybody would be willing to help, I would definitely put your name on the site, and once the banner revenues come pouring in, you would definitely get a handsome share based on the amount of work put out. Thanks in advance to all who reply (at least in a nice manner )

If anyone know's what language Gnufrog uses, that would be of great help. I do know that AsiaYeah uses jsp (a form of Java) and I am leaning towards using that...

I think they're using PHP.

i'm not an expert in this stuff but this is what i would do

write a server app. that routes descriptors, then it would be easy to get host/IP number cause of all the pongs going through the server,

then you'll need an algorithm to update the host/IP number on the web site

this stuff i descriped will have to be done on your server so client side languages are no good (but they may have other uses)

html is the only one of those languages i know, but i would recommend C/C++ or java cause they seems easyer then perl (i studied a tiny bit of each)

http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp has a lot of good dev. resource

if you need any more info. just let me know
