Which Gnutella clients for Windows you like most?

Shareaza wins hands down on all platforms. It is opensource so it is 100% free and it also uses the edonky2000 network giving you more peers to download from. Alot of files are on both networks.
 
errr, LimeWire IS more popular. - If you went to download.com, you would find that LimeWire (if you count the downloads for all plattforms not only windows) had more downloads last week than even Morpheus had (not counting the ~150,000 downloads a week LimeWire gets from macupdate.com).
And btw., the Shareaza forums are way more active than the LimeWire forums ever were.
 
You can't find it meaning "you don't have a clue where to look" or "you read 100k lines of code and you're sure it ain't there"? Do you want a link or something?


Simple, Gnutella queries don't contain any vendor information, if LimeWire receives a query from Morpheus it will never be able to tell it's really a Morpheus host that sent the query. If Morpheus however connects to a LimeWire node, the LimeWire node will (unless it's one of the older nodes) only return a "403 Freeloader" reply instead of sending the requested file.
 
The negative about sharing on more than one network at one time of course is the sacrifice in bandwidth & affect it has on other networks. There's at least one network where you can only downld as fast as you upload. Then if people are uplding from you one one or more networks, what happens to people on the other networks you're connected to? They suffer!!! They either can't connect or get incredibly slow downlds from you. That's why multi-network programs tend to not work so well whilst they allow multi-network connection at one time. On Gnutella, I'm sure most people would be aware how slow & unreliable Shareaza (Raza) can be. This also applies to the others such as morpheus & Gnucleus, etc. This is not an opinion, it is fact. If these programs only connected to one network at a time, then problem solved. (else dedicating a minimum of 5 KB/s per upload slot per network connected to at the time might work if there's the bandwidth to allow this.)
 
My intention is NOT to 'hang it' on any other p2p app. despite the sounds of it. But there's obviously something wrong here. Shareaza is not the only app I've noticed do this, but also another. It's purely a statement I've made out of experience of using LW. I've never used S. or most of the others so I can't comment about their effectiveness (even be it apparently at the sake of other apps) ... I've only use 2 other p2p apps & they were all mac. So take my comments as suggested & not as a hang it reference. Oh what a mess of a post or 2. lol Maybe I should fix that anim after all lol I tried to combine 2 anims which is why it stuffed up ..oh what the..
 
Zultrax www.zultrax.com

Easily runs all day long without bothering your work on your PC.
Comes totally clean with no adware, spyware or other unwanted extras.

It supports two networks amongst which Gnutella on which it behaves as a fair client. Zultrax does not block off other clients, does not post selfisly a lot of queries and replies fairly to queries of other nodes.
 
Here's the links.

Ceterum censeo, it's not fair to the network to use an outdated and harmful gnutella client that is using gnutella for the purpose of bootstrapping its own proprietary act (NeoNET).
 
Shareaza has rotating queues (meaning they cancel you to upload to another user). Also the average upload speed from shareaza is lower than others clients because Shareza is multinetwork.

Yeah, I've voted for G2 clients.
There are many reasons, like extendability, broadcast searching, and many others!
But Shareaza is still my favorite
It has the nicest GUI if ever known, and the skinning engine is awesome!

And the comments from LW fans that say that if you use Shareaza, you sacrifice upload bandwidth, are not right anymore!
At this time, LW implemented a DHT (Prove me if I'm wrong, but a DHT is a seperate network) and BitTorrent. So, LW's will automatically spread his bandwidth.
And when they're downloading a torrent, it's exactly the same.
(Does LW recognize SHA1 hashes inside a torrent? Like those made by torrentcreators like TorrentAid? So not the BTIH, but the SHA1 of a single file torrent)
 
I love limewire it's by far the best p2p network i have tried i tried pro and went back onto the free one tho i hated how it looked and it was too complicated.Apart from the viruses on programmes the child porn,the youv'e won and the dancing girl video it's perfect.
 
I don't even know, what the RISC-OS is, but I assume it isn't a mainstream OS, so it might be perfectly fair to charge for the program, as noone else would do it.

Do you know RISC-OS? I only remember to have seen the name somewhere.
 
Yes the Shareaza forums on their homepage not here. We have not many Shareaza users around here because they are visiting their own forum. Limewire
 
Give Shareaza some decency, to stop calling its network gnutella2, and there'd be a chance, that I'd switch to it.

Till then I won't use, and won't recommend using it, because I think, that it says nothing good about the programmers to do marketing like that.
 
Morpheus has been part of Gnutella for a LONG time so they are not being a part of Gnutella just to get files onto NEOnet and how do you expect files to come onto NEOnet anyway? Morpheus is VERY good to Gnutella software and movies are now on Gnutella BECAUSE of Morpheus, so Gnutella should thank Morpheus for this.
