Real Time Gnutella Visualization

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the thats-pretty-smooth dept.

brett42 writes "Some students at Berkeley wrote a python program that connects to the Gnutella network and maps out connections between nodes in real time. " I gotta say thats pretty smooth. Hopefully future gnutella clients will incorporate something like this just for the time wasting potential of watching the graph wiggle while seeing what porn others are searching for.

  1. Why don't they make it easier to get stuff? by Captain+Pedantic · · Score: 0, Troll

    Given the enourmous scaling problems that gnutella has (plus the fact that 9 times out of ten if you download you get something from goatse.cx instead), shouldn't these people concentrate on improving the protocol rather than bogging it down even more?

    why would anyone use gnutella when they could use kazaa/morpheus (or kza and giFT on linux). The only users I can think of are Mac users with no kazaa clients. But then again, you could probably use giFT in MacOSX. Anyone wanna clue me in?

  6. "Angry Black Man" is a TROLL. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Before you moderate this up, PLEASE check Angry Black Man's posting history, READ his posts, and check the links in those posts. You'll see that every one of them is an Adequacy-style troll.

    Proof that Angry Black Man is a troll:

    1. Most of his posts are crafted to look informative but contain gross factual errors that nobody could make inadvertantly.

    2. Angry Black Man posted to the old Trolltalk.

    3. Angry Black Man often goes for obvious karma-whores early in a story, such as copy-pasting kernel release notes.

    4. Angry Black Man often lies about his identity and flat-out makes things up in order to deceive people.

    5. Angry Black Man lies about his race -- he is NOT Black, he is a pasty-white Adequacy editor. Black people are not intelligent enough to use computers, so obviously he is not black.

    Please send his karma to negro hell.
