Shouldn't you all be using gnutella now? I think that avoids this problem by not having any central servers. It's sort of peer-to-peer.

Or freenet...

There's a wee problem with gnutella.

It sucks.

Well, in terms of bandwidth it sucks. It absoloutely eats up bandwidth, which is a real problem for dial up. When you see your ppp monitor on your trusty gkrellm go up to 4.5k/s you think "I must be downloading *something*". Nope. Just the huge overhead on that particular protocol.

So I tried gnutella for a while, and gnapster produced more downloads, even if it is just mp3's.

*sigh* 2 more months and I move to a place with broadband....
