In the good old days of using (Napster|Audiogalaxy|Gnutella) I could point the file-sharing application to my collection and presto - it was all shared and available to whoever was interested. Nowadays, I just share whatever torrent I have participated in lately, plus a few that seem popular but rare (those most uploaded from my client) - but I have a whole lot of rather rare music that I fail to share for lack of a way to do it. Is there a contemporary way to share a whole collection or is that really missing from the toolset ?
Well - maybe I'll finally get around to setting up a heeadless gtk-gnutella node again.

As for the network eMule/KAD seems do be doing ok with 200K+ peers while Gnutella nowadays seems to be populated mostly by slightly-compatible chinese clients, which bootstrap from traditional gnutella but are incompatible.

- liotier 11y agoI thought about it and found it a bit too social and too insular - having "rooms" as a central feature feels odd to me who would rather use a global search of the whole file-sharing network. Also, having to run a desktop client was putting me off. But then I just found http://www.museek-plus.org http://www.museek-plus.org so I might try that... But it is disappearing from Debian: https://packages.qa.debian.org/m/museek+.html https://packages.qa.debian.org/m/museek+.html - not a good sign...
