Does Newtella or even Gnutella work?

[A. Coward]

I have tried Newtella, and Gnutella under Linux and Newtella under Windows.
Linux didn't even play.
Newtella has no Unix docs? so I can'y RTFM.

Windoz console locked up after I have been running it for 15 min.. Plus I get no down loads but all the allowed connections are as I said busy as heck and I basicly used the default settings..

Ok now much later I realize it is just the crappy nature of many of the connections I am trying to make to download files or the fact that most people still are using telephones to access the web or the systems are now off line. doesn't anyone leave there systems on 24/7? Much better than shutting them off and they will last longer. Just shut off the monitor. It's what is eating most of the power. You can't have a 'network" if all the computers are off line, misconfigured or not sharing.
