Unhappy No host connection - help please

Hi there,

everytime when I search files with gnutella, it takes a while (3 or 4 min.) and nothing happens. After aborting and restarting the search there are suddenly hundred of hits within 10 seconds. Is this OK, or is something wrong?

Yesterday I've tried to search a file but I can't get any connection to the gnutella hosts. There was absolutely nothing. I've tried it on 2 different computers over 2 different providers over modem and isdn.
I'm Firewalled and the checkbox in the setup is marked.
What's wrong?

Thanks for any help in advance,
Sam.

First of all, make sure that you have the latest version of your Gnutella client, as an important hostcache (clip2) went offline recently and this has affected some Gnet programs.
Then if you ever get no hosts, type another hostcache into the manual connect bar (most clients have this).
Here's some of the most popular ones:

connect1.bearshare.net
connect2.bearshare.net
connect3.bearshare.net
router.limewire.com
connect1.gnutellanet.com
connect2.gnutellanet.com
connect3.gnutellanet.com
connect4.gnutellanet.com
gnutella.hostscache.com

And I also swear by:

gnutella.hostscache.com

Good luck!

Lately I have problems getting connected to the hostcachers, I go to http://www.gnufrog.com/ and they provide adresses to who you can manually connect (copy/paste), this usually works in 2 or 3 tries.
You can look at it beeing a manual hostcache

Lightbulb Remedy for connection failure

Under linux (Gnome and KDE installed side-by-side, Gnome used as desktop) I have two clients: gnut and Qtella. Gnut is not exactly the most modern technology; it's command-line based and has no "AutoConnect" feature, instead it reads a list of hosts from a file called .gnut_hosts. Today I had the problem u r talking about with Qtella, the connections kept failing, so I finally brought up gnut using a list that I had downloaded from a web-site a long time ago and then let it go through the list (which has tens of thousands of IPs) until it got a successful connection, then manually put that IP into Qtella and got a successful connection (Qtella cannot, to my knowledge, read a list of files). Just a suggestion in case anyone needs it.
