*Request for Shareaza forum

[Moak]

please create a Shareaza forum, nice new Gnutella client (Windows). http://www.shareaza.com/

Yes I agree but I think we should wait until we know which affect Shareaza has to the Gnutella net!

Did you tested this client Moak? Did you see if the client harms the net or not?

Which affect it has? I think you got influenced to much by negative client bashing. Even if it WOULD have a kind of negative effect it should still get a forum here. I'm a "bazar" type of developer, release early, release often, improve your software.

I don´t think so I don´t want to support a second Qtrax here!

I am not influened by any comments I want only that I can say "Hey shut up this is a rumour, its proven that this client don´t hurt the net"!

I think this "unhealthy client" is currently a totally non-issue.

Gnutella never really had a problem with unhealthy servents in the past or today. Of course the protocol has is weakness and software is never bugfree, so are programmers. But if someone speaks about unhealthy client, then it's usually a marketing phrase (some call it "Vinnie phrase"). Better ignore this topic, instead test new software, give the developers a short feedback and they will fix fast in case of problems, also create better software, improve the protocol, improve Gnutella. That is what happened with Gnutella in the past. Back to topic, a forum is a great place to share knowledge, help users and improve a client. Without communication you just hide problems, not solve it.

I am not against this idea... but I don´t want to see this "maniacs" here which are crying ALL clients are bad but mine is not... and exatly this people discuss about an option to block other clients or users... I know this sucks but this is the reality of Gnutella!

I understand.

Well, let me say it this way: giving good clients and good developers a platform is the best what can happen IMHO. A userbase will find bugs, different developers can help each other or advice newcomers. Do not get influenced to the bad by some maniacs even if the orks cry loud.

No I mean the people who cry the clients are all bad want such a feature... I recently read a lot such posts on bearshare.net and some people here modify open source clients to block other clients...

I think all people who want to block something shouldn´t discuss with us about which client is hurting the net as long as they don´t realize that they are also hurting the net...
