majority of download attempts on Gnutella fail or are unreasonably slow
I actually happened to give gnutella a try today, and noticed that there is a site with an ip-address of 66.x.x.x that always has an 'answer' ready for any queries it sees. It returns something like 0_query_string.{exe,.rar.zip,mp3,wav,...} My guess is that the '0' is there to sort it high in the list of results.
Kind of annoying as I'm pretty sure that the label isn't a riaa member and doesn't really care that much about a vinyl record from '91 that pretty much impossible to find.
ps. if anyone has a copy of C'hantal - The Realm that they lost interest in...
