it seems that morpheus has taken over from napster as with that program there are usally around 44000 connected on line at a time. with Gnucleus your very lucky to get over 1000.

Why is morpheus so popular?

Are there more people on line because it is not on the gnutella network?

For me the morpheus p2p software is not as well presented as gnucleus and also I find it very unstable (keep getting page error fault in Kernel????? whatever) theres also adverts all over the place.

I wish gnucleus could compete with this program so we could have more choice and more than 10 people or so in the chat rooms. Is it possible?

i am not a gnucleus user, but i am a gnutella network user.. i think the way to get more people on to "compete" with morpheus is to stop trash talking the program, encourage its developers, and try to get more people on the network.....

but this is just a thought

Because Morpheus use fasttrack... this protocol uses more advaced technics than GNUTELLA - like swarming!

So Morpheus is faster than any GNUTELLA client can be at the moment!

Gnucleus... yes we all have wishes but this is far future for GNUTELLA - I hate to say this!

Do you mean that Fasttrack uses real swarming or multi-segmented d/l's?

Please, don't confuse me again

REAL swarming - swarming is a fasttrack technic!

Morgwen

Have you really seen real swarming in Fasttrack?
I know that Mojonation use swarming, if you mean lot of small segments that's circulating around the network, like some some sort of mirroring.
I believe that Fasttrack only use multi-segmented pararell downloads (or multi-source pararell d/l'ing) , I haven't seen any sign of real swarming in Fasttrack.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I got confusion running around my brain

Yes - fasttrack has REAL swarming, if you don´t believe me ask Moak!

On Edonkey you start sharing your file even though you only have a small percentage of it. This reduces freeloading.

Moak (or someone else), is Morpheus really using real swarming, similar to Mojo nation? Is it a way to see it?
Thanks in advance for reducing my confusion, I hope

that's the 1st time i ever heard that fasttrack has "swarming".
as far as i know it uses regular segmented http downloads..

i think we all are getting confused.
fasttrack, winmx, edonkey and perhaps some other use regular segmented downloads...think regular download managers like getright or reget or flashget or 50mill other prgrms.
they don't store "part" of the network on your hd unless you d/l that file
