The type of "file helping" that is done on limeware and kazaa is garbage.

Here is how its done properly:
http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/


The above IS NOT a search network like gnutella, its a centralized approach. Basically u can share 1 file with N users in the time it takes to share 1 file with 1 user. It is up LimeWire to implement the protocol AND then use some intelligence to incorporate it into its search network.

Obviosly, when u implement this, and u make a search on LimeWire, u will want rank searches by how many people are downloading a given file.

This program is used weekly for some purpose (which need not be spoken about)
and i get 100-200k/sec easy (as does everyone else on broadband).

Coming up tomorrow (wednesday) night, go here to participate in the download and see the power.

Its in your hands now, AND RESPECT THE DEVELOPER.

Have you never heard of swarming dude?
Thats the same idea and Limewire supports it.

The implementation is garbage compared to the action i get using a centralized BT download.

I and 100 other users have yet to get a 200k/sec avg download for a given file over limewire which happens all the time with BT.

There should be a way to search for things that are the most highly "swarmed".

Explain the setup of this swarming

Gnutella is decentralised, live with that.
Thats the special thing about it, if it was centralised
it would work more efficient, no doubt but thats not the idea of gnutella.

Swarming is to download the requested file from different
users in small parts and put them together to the requested file
once the download is finished.

seriously, people will take any content as long as its moving fast. Assuming swarming works like BT, then by ranking files by what is swarmed the most, this will provide an EXTRA style of service. These more swarmed files will provide better transfer rates to MORE people than anything seen on gnutella to date.

U still have not shown that u recognize the difference between swarming and BT.

*Everyone* that participates in a BT download of a given file is getting AND giving to everyone else of that same file.

that'd be called partial sharing file transfer, or somesuch name. there was a description of it proposed on the gnutella dev mailing list awhile back. i'm pretty sure limewire plans on implementing it someday soon.

Hey, that really sounds good.

I *do* think that a whole new type of effectiveness can be reached if u are able to search by how many people are "BitTorrenting" or "Partial sharing whatever" of a file. This way, theres bound to be at least 100+ things that u can always download at any time which is far more than u have now.
