More Anonymious then Gnutella

That wasn't the question. I've known that for as long as I knew what an IP was.

Can they tell what music you actually own?
(are they psychics or something?)

If you really own certain songs- it's not illegal to download them is it?... and if so, since when?
How are they allowed to haggle you for something that you may be doing completely legally?
 
Use a open source client and change the TTL to look like it's not coming from you.
I don't think thats how they are busting people though.
Those sickos have feelings too, we must be tolerant, or so says the government and media.
 
They perform a sting operation, simply downloading the content from you (much as undercover cops would buy a bag of weed)...

Once they establish the precedents with Napster that any "space-shifting" is presumed copyright infringement (and that is a precedent they seem to want quite badly), they will then apply that precedent (any any others set in Napster) to the prosecution of identified sharers...
(Such is the problem with being identifiable)...
 
In my opinion, OpenFT is the future of P2P. That system definately looks like it'll kick Gnutella's slow butt out of the place.

Semi-centralisation is a stroke of genius.
 
The Gnutella protocol is a SEARCH protocol. This is whole purpose. The filetransfers are all done with http puts and gets.

You can download a pdf of the Gnutella Protocol at the clip 2 site.

File transfers do NOT take place on the gnutella net....ever
 
An excellent document; I have a copy already... The only other thing I could want from it (besides for it to write itself into a client ) would be an explanation of BearShare's proprietary packets/ descriptor trailers. What the hell is proprietary doing on an Open network?!?
 
No it's not. Centralization up to a certain degree (if the central servers appear and disappear dynamically) doesn't make any difference.

The centralization of OpenFT resembles Fasttrack's Supernodes and Gnutella's Ultrapeers.
 
lol

Good question. Someone sniff one of those packets from a bearshare and lets have a look.....

Know any good no-NT sniffers.......???? does RedHat 7.1 come with a sniffer??

If anyone cracks one of the Bearshare packets please post the results right here....Please
 
We always count of duplication of files on the gnutella network to make the network work better. If this is basicly what OpenFT does, then we already have it due to the numbers of nodes on Gnutella.
In other words, it's not needed on gnutella.
