GNUTella Search Tool
A reader wrote to us with the word that Cap'n Bry has designed a Web-based GNUtella search/download form for those who want to leech from GNUtella servers without using the GNUtella software or sharing their files.

What's really fun with Gnutella is when you snag some nasty .jpg of a guy taking a crap off of stileproject.com, and rename it britney_spears_nude.jpg. Then, watch your upload log window fill up!
Another gnutella web interface is up at phreedom.net.
gnutella protocol, reverse engineered for your hacking pleasure =)
There are quite a few gnutella clones popping up. Unfortunately, this one was written in pascal of all things. There are a couple extremely promising C based gnutella clones, including this one for which the source hasn't yet (but will be) released. Enjoy! =)

Now, I think it would be GOOD to buy FIVE or SIX STUDEBAKERS
and CRUISE for ARTIFICIAL FLAVORING!!
How long will it take for people to realize this is not an issue of copyright v. theft, or bandwidth v. theft of services? As Cosmo said in Sneakers, "It's about who controls the information -- what we see and hear, how we work, what we think -- It's all about the information."
The Mongrel Dogs Who Teach
To heck with Gnetella, Napster, et al. Sneaker net is the only way to go. Here's the general outline:
There's a guy. He has sneakers. Actually, there are lots of guys with sneakers. When you want to transfer something, all you have to do is use sntp to get it. To initial that transfer, use the init signal: "Hey bitch! Get over here!" and the sneaker bitch comes to answer your request. Then you say, I want this mp3.
(This can be abberviated nstp://bitch.newmp3.mp3
Sneaker bitch then runs off to the sneaker bitch hub where he passes the message off to the next sneaker bitch. After the message reaches the target machine, it is recorded on magnetic media and returns via the same path.
Inefficient you say? Never underestimate the bandwidth of a pickup truck full of floppies.

(note: I am not the progenetor of this idea, but we talked about it at supper last night, and it sound like fun to me. Think of the mp3's you could fit in a pickup!)
