Gnutella2

From MLDonkey

OpenSource protocol designed as a extenstion of Gnutella, with new (needed?) features. Also known as "G2" or "Mike's protocol" and not very well accepted by most of the Gnutella community.

protocol details can be found at http://www.gnutella2.com

Gnutella2 is very close to "releasable" state in MLdonkey.

Gnutella2 is a different protocol from Gnutella and not endorsed by the GnutellaDeveloperForum; it forms a DownloadMesh with Gnutella, however.

It seems that some users (I do) have problems connecting to Gnutella2 nodes while others don't. If you experience this problem, you can put G2-server_connection_timeout to 20 or 25.

You could also have to update your nodes, while the core is not running (I've heard it could be), edit the gnutella2.ini and find the "redirectors" line. Then add some addresses you can find on this page. It should look like this (with more adresses) :

redirectors = [
  "http://gwebcache1.limewire.com/gwebcache/cgi-bin/perlgcache.cgi";]

the redirectors command does not apply to mldonkey. what command to input a gwebcache into mldonkey??

>> By hand in gnutella2.ini.

Since MLDonkey 2.9.0 the Gnutella2 support is officially unmaintained and

disabled in MLDonkey ./configure defaults. You can still enable it by

./configure --enable-gnutella2 but you are on your own getting it to work.
