Hi folks

i have a question. Why arent really the hosts decentralized ?
If one of these 4 hostes are killed by bad man:

>Host caches are the only centralized part of Gnutella.
>use router.limewire.com...
>connect1-4.gnutellanet.com...
>router4.limewire.com.

The whole network isnt working any more. The Target has to be a software client /servant, that gets free from these rooters by collecting or cratching Ip`s on lokal programm.

Limewire for example in version 1.2. has the option to collect (Get more) iP.s Ok you have 1000 collected and have to wait untill one of them is online.
But if connect1.gnutellanet.com ist killed nowone gets a contact to the network.
The new Limewire has no funktion to collect hosts on lokal client.
X-Cache ist to complicated for me and normal user.

So it is the old question from forum:

> Where do I now get my IP-adresses from?
> Hmmm, neither gutellahosts.com nor router.limewire.com seem to be working.
> Will I have to ask people who are already connected via irc for IPs anytime I want to

The problem is, that NO GNUTELLA ClIENT has any mor such a button !!!!!!!!!!

So develop a tool, to collect hosts in every client / servant

And the truth is, you cannot use limewire version (which has the host collecting funktion) with any host-caches. Why isnt this tool working any moe ... so there has to be any option to disable the whole network ?


I want my buddies to get a connection to the network, and not a central host-cache !

Change it or can anybody answer me these questions ?
