What is Gnutella anyway?
This unique new file distribution software allows one to find any kind of file they want.
This is done by logging on to a Gnutella network.
Once on the network, you are able to search all other computers connected to the network for the files that you need.
Thus, there is no need to search through hundreds of web pages in order to find the Mp3, avi, mov, and exe files that you want.
In a way, Gnutella is a new version of the popular Napster Mp3 distributing software, only it can search for ALL types of files. |
How does it work?
One feature about gnutella that sets it above all the rest, is that it does not rely on a dedicated server to keep it running.
When you open Gnutella, you are normally connected to about four other computers.
These four computers are each connected to four more, who are also connected to four additional computers.
This chain can keep going until you are connected to thousands!
Because the network is not streamed through a server, there is no down time, and the network can't be shut down by the government. For a more thurough explanation of how gnutella works, visit here

How do I get mine to work?
In order to connect to a host or network, you need an IP number, or internet address.
Many of these numbers can be obtained from internet sites like this one.
We can attempt to answer any questions you have. Just Email us!
