Which Client is Most Popular?

Maybe, - but none of the clients in this list does so. So those number are not wrong at all. They may not be 100% accurate but they are accurate enough to deduce the popularity of the clients.
 
I tried Bearshare but it kept crashing my router/firewall. Also I have been trying to avoid java so no Limewire for me (so I'm Javaphobic sue me).

I have been using Gnucleus for several days now and it is far more sophisticated and most importantly....it does not crash my router.

Gnucleus kicks ***
 
I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but just in case, the poll above is about the most popular at gnutella forums (hence the poll question "what is your favorite" and only registered users vote), not the the gnutella network. Either way it sounds like you would have voted for BearShare, but I am just making sure other people understand the poll here.
 
Yeah, I was using bearshare. So that probably inflated the bearshare numbers. At the time bearshare was the only one that kept a record of the downloads and clients. Is there any tests results like that out now? Yeah, SwapNut is becoming popular. My numbers are getting out dated now.
 
By downloading from them... Phex gives me this information... admittedly there is some issues involved in doing that, because in some cases someone sharing will disconnect and then phex will connect to someone else to download from, so I have to monitor who I am downloading. I will have to try to download a variety of files, from small to big, and diffrent formats and genre as a means of keeping diversity.



There is no exact way to do that, but someone who shares will more then likely have more experience and adding downloads counts from each client will grab a more diverse group of clients as oposed to monitoring just shared uploads alone.



How so? People who share make up a certain percentage of the entire network, they dont make up 50% of the network, but they do make up 25 to 10 percent of it. To not include that information is to be 25 to 10 percent off in our statistics.



That wasnt my point though, my point was that, that does affect our statistics. It does not need to be accounted for, but both users that share and dont share do affect our statistics.

I'm sorry you didnt quite understand this, maybe I worded it to wrong, but still we are talking about the same thing.
 
For the 101 unique IP addresses how many GBytes and files were there, so we have a reference to compare with? Next time I will add unique IP addresses to mine.
 
good question.... aproximately 1.5GB and 357 Files, and they were wide ranging from images videos and audio files... I dont think I will go in to the specifics of what those files were
 
Here is some newer numbers, not from system. But still both from bearshare.

This is not a very specific criticism. With a programming language no matter if it's Assembler, Java or Pascal you can usually do almost everything.


That's a common prejudice, but it's not really based upon facts. First, you usually don't use Java for high performance applications (like video-stream encoding/decoding) where speed is such an importance. Second, the speed difference is usually no more than 30-50% and that is not noticable on to days systems (in C it uses 5% of your CPU resources, in Java 7% the difference is minimal). The one thing that slows down Java most is loading the Java VM on startup which takes a few seconds.


There are many OS specific features you could add (it's no problem to write non-portable Java programs, really), and Java actually has had scroll mouse support for some time.


Well, if that's where you're coming from, I know your reasons for not liking Java.

>1. You have got it backwards* the "one location" is me the one uploader, not one downloader.
So, basically, most of it was you downloading files using BearShare.
Also, are clear on what "upload" and "download" mean? Because if you keep saying "downloading from me", you're liable to confuse a lot of people.

*Actually, you're the one who originally had it backwards, I misiinterpreted it because you don't know the difference between an upload and a download. (Well, you know what they are, you just never use them in the right places.)
