The network

Does anybody know how to access the network without downloading the software. My university does not allow us to install any software. Please help me on this matter.
 
Morg, isn't gnutella about sharing? I agree the more people that share, the better for the network. But if it is a requirement to contribute then it's no longer sharing, it's commerce.
 
if people are required to share then it is still sharing.... it is not fair just for people to take and take and never give back, especially for a free service... that is taking advantage of the situation. it is not commerce. if it were commerce then people would have to pay!

this is just my two cents.....

ps Hi morg!
 
I still hold to my position, but the point here isn't some philosophical discussion on what sharing is.

I, for one, am willing to give regardless if the other person is sharing or not. Forcing people to share isn't what this network should be about. We may as well just set up a bunch of ratio ftp servers if we're going down that road.
 
Hi mrgone!

My point is very simple...

YOU want to d/l files - OTHERS want too...

YOU can d/l files - OTHERS cannot...

This my friend is "FREELOADING"...

Yes the service is "free" but the files are provided by users...

I think it is a good idea to force the people to upload files!

And "THIS IS NO COMMERCE"... this is "SHARING"...

Gnutella cannot survive without sharing - where do you want your files get from?

Why should only a few users take the risk to be busted? Are we a community or not?

Gnutella can`t survive without sharing...

Yes they can say a lot if you are using THEIR NETWORK FOR THAT THE UNSERVERSIOTY PAYS THE BILLS!

The point is universites pay for their traffic - more traffic higher bills...

They have no flate!
