I have torrented but am not very familiar in this field, but I have to say, this is the first time I've ever heard of gnutella.
Less technical people I know have heard or used TPB and are likely never to have heard of this as well.
I am curious (although I'll be googling as well) on what makes it better. As a personal preference though, if given the option, I would rather make a project that used by many reliably than to have one that is really really fine tuned but not used at all.
However, if I do see that gnutella is better for my purposes, then I will gladly make the switch and will say thanks in advance.
- toby- 3y agoThey may not have heard of Gnutella, the network, but they may be familiar with some of the software that supports it: LimeWire, Shareaza, BearShare, WireShare, FrostWire, iMesh, and probably others I'm forgetting.
- gandalfgreybeer 3y agoLimeWire I’m familiar with and one they’ve definitely used but that seems like a thing from 20 years ago. And by the 2010s I don’t know if anyone still used it. Given that, now I’m curious on why it was mentioned to be better than TBP which survived while Limewire (not sure about the others but have never heard of them) didn’t.
