Gnutella +is a global file-sharing network similar in many ways to Napster, except +it has a truly distributed design which does not rely on centralized +servers. Additionally, all types of file may be shared via gnutella, not +just MP3 audio files as with Napster. + +When you connect to the Gnutella network, your local machine becomes +a server as well as a client on the network and will start receiving +queries and traffic from other hosts. This imposes a moderate bandwidth +penalty on usage, but the impact can be configured. + +Users should be aware that Gnutella does not attempt to provide +anonymity or confidentiality of search requests or transfers, so use for +illegal purposes is not recommended. + +Gnutella homepage: http://gnutella.wego.com/ + +WWW: http://www.umr.edu/~jjp/ |
