Step 1: What is Gnutella?
Posted by AlternativeAngelo Sotira in on December 3, 2001 at 7:47 PM



Since its inception, the entire premise of the Internet centered on file sharing. Many people don’t realize that fact, but if you think about it you realize that the Internet has always existed to promote the sharing of information. Gnutella arms the Internet community with a tool that goes back to the basics of the Internet.

When the World Wide Web first began to emerge, people would put up a page and link to other pages. In turn, those pages would return the link. The advent of the “hyperlink” and the WWW in early 1990 was a huge step in the development of the Internet as we know it today. Similarly, Napster’s arrival on the scene spawned development of technology that allows people to find and share information. When the company Napster got sued and eventually shut down, it was up to us to make sure the idea didn’t die.

Where did Gnutella come from? The evil-geniuses at Nullsoft (creators of Winamp) first developed the protocol in late 1999. Since Nullsoft had recently been acquired by AOL (soon to be AOL-Time Warner), the problems that would arise remain obvious. Nullsoft basically had to cease using the company’s resources to develop this technology because the record labels saw (and still see) it as a threat to their industry.

However, what the technology really accomplishes, is not a threat to any industry; rather, it creates a revamped atmosphere on the Internet, enabling users to share information like never before. To put it simply, Gnutella puts the personal interaction back into the Internet. When you run Gnutella software and connect to the Gnutella Network, you bring with you the information you wanted to make public. And you choose what information to share. You can choose to share nothing; you can choose to share one file, a directory, or your entire hard drive (we do not recommend this option).

One of the major differences between Gnutella and Napster-like software is that those applications are centralized. That means the technology uses central servers where the government agencies can spy on you and infringe on your freedom to search the net.

So Gnutella allows you to search for information anonymously, and it allows you to search for information in a setting that differs from traditional search engines like Yahoo! because unlike search engines like that, the information is not controlled or fed to you. Nothing is pushed at you; you control what you look for.

By downloading a gnutella client you can search the gnutella network for users who may be sharing images.

Go to the CONNECT tab and choose a client that's right for you!

Hello all!!

What client should I download? What's the difference?

In the spirit of this article, why is it that no one here has come forward to ask how they wish to share information, instead of only shamelessly, greedily grabbing for it?

Sure, gnutella is about taking as well as giving, but why is the taking side the only one represented here?

-

I find these questions and the fact that they need to be asked, to be the central problem in the gnutella/internet philosphy: A shrinking number of information sources for an exponentially increasing number of insatiable fly trap destinations. (by fly trap i mean the trend of not sharing even what you do download from others.)

How many here even care about the philosphy to begin with? They read this article, and the first thing to come into their heads was: how can i get it, and how can i get more of it, and how can i speed it up?

Not one mention of how they can contribute.

Gnutella means nothing when what it stands for means nothing more than an endless well to the people using it.

The philosphy dies, and when that happens, on what moral ground can anyone stand as to why the philosphy was good in the first place? The defence dies, and the RIAA and others will then have every right to take it away. Because in this degenerated sence it is stealing, because it is no longer about the benefits of sharing information, it is now only about greed.


Who's with me?

Hallefuckingluia...(sorry if that offended anybody) thank you, alacard, I was impressed to see someone taking the time to be humble and appreciative of the awesome tool WE have ALL BEEN AFFORDED. I am new to all of this but I have drawn a conclusion thus far, how lucky am I this is free shit, COOL! But it goes to one fundamental idea:
