Searching... Forever! once in a blue a search will actually work and then downloading works good, but most of the time it just says Searching... forever. even with searches that returned many results before. any suggestions? |
I've noticed that several people have asked this and no one has answered. I am having the same problem and wonder if someone who knows what is going on mighr post some help for us |
The Gnutella network is having a lot of problems. If you're interested, http://dss.clip2.com/gnutella.html explains the problems in detail. |
I would go farther and say that the problems in the essay are understated. I consider myself a conscientious user who is very impressed by the IDEA of GnutellaNet. I investigated different clients (and found that Newtella and ToadNode are much faster and more responsive than the "official" 0.56 or Gnotella). However, the GnutellaNet-at-large, which is what is studied in the report, is nearly useless as it exists now. I have a DSL connection, and share about 1 GB of complete, quality songs and video. After trying for days, the success rate on my searches (that is, searches that return ANY hits) is only about 2 in 3. My success rate for downloads is atrocious. Less than 20% of attempted D/L's eventually complete. The great majority hang forever. If anyone can point me to any usable GnutellaSubnets that recruit on the usenet groups for music and porn, I would be happy to trade quality files for membership. |
Thothmes I feel the same way as you about the Gnutella network. Searches are ok, but D/L success is downright horrible. Gnu-net is a great idea, but it needs a lot of work. If there is a way to actually get stuff to download, that would be great. Please let us know! |
