Crowned Review Gnutella: Napster is dead... (1052 words)

"Oh No! Napster has filtered out all copyrighted material so I can't download songs any more! Oh, woe is me!" Etc. etc. Never fear! Dukey is here! So, Napster has gone to the great file transfer in the sky. What next? Is that it for illegally sharing mp3's via Internet and computer? Well, no actually. There are other file share utilities out there – Scour and Gnutella are two that immediately spring to mind. Scour and Gnutella are what's known as peer-to-peer transfer methods. What this means (and what makes it different from Napster) is that there are no central servers to host the file transfers. "Gnutella? Don't ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Do not despair, Napster users (830 words)

The recent court ruling against Napster has forced me to search for other potential sites to download MP3s. I immediately made for Gnutella, since it was the only other MP3 exchange site I had heard of. My first impressions of Gnutella plummeted a few minutes after entering the “Downloads” section of the website. Unlike Napster, Gnutella is supposedly decentralized, and so offers a choice of numerous download clients. I downloaded ToadNode, which according to the website was “the best Gnutella client for Windows yet.” Unfortunately, I simply could not get this installed client to work on my computer. Fortunately, my second ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Gnutella: napster gone, get this alternative, just as good (437 words)

If you are looking for an alternative to napster this is it. Every body knows about the tapster court hearing, making them stop the illegal sharing of mp3. Recently you have of noticed that all copy righted material has been stop from being shared. The only way around this is to alter the name of the track you want, and hope you guess right. Or you could find a new server which shares mp3. Gnutella is one of the alternative servers. It is just as simple as napster to run, but has a few advantages, and disadvantages. Advantages. This allows you to do lots of searches at once. So for example you can keep up a few bands and keep down loading ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review NOT Gnutella! (294 words)
by - written on 05/09/00 (Very useful, 375 readings)
Rating:

It sounds good does Gnutella. It’s a piece of software available for free download from gnutella.wego.com. You simply install it, log on to a server (everybody who uses Gnutella allows others to access designated folders on THEIR computer) and then download mp3's (or other audio files), mpegs, jpegs, indeed any file types you care to mention. In other words its like Napster, only more flexible. But before you go rushing off to get this exciting bit of software, hang on! I've had the programme for about 6 weeks and have so far been unable to log onto a single server….so I've never actually been able to use Gnutella! The idea is ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Gnutella is on the way up! (142 words)

Rating:

I've been using Gnutella for almost a year now, and have seen the service fluctuate. At the start, the Gnutella clients were archaic, but you could normally get what you were looking for. However, a lot of new users soon started using the software, and it all went downhill. Over the past five months or so, the clients have improved remarkably - they are now easy tto use, and a recent upgrade is sidestepping the previous problem of an overloaded network. I personally recommend LimeWire or Toadnode, which you can get from http://www.gnutella.co.uk/downloads/ They are both easy to use, and Toadnode even works behind a firewall. I ...  Read the complete review
