[edit] Re-write?

The features of the software need to be explained in this article or otherwise links to other articles should be present. - 74.112.174.10 20:10, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

The description is indeed chocked-full of technical jargon, however that does not make it an advertisement.

What exactly needs to be rewritten?

You expect something like this instead:

1) "Dood, install it and leech mad warez!" or

2) "It's okay, but not as much warez as on the mule and donkey networks" or

3) "Both those P2P suckzors, use bit torrent to download the latest TV episodes instead"

Just curious.. :-)

The article is heavy in technical jargon. It is not an advertisement. It mainly consists of informtation taken from "http://gtk-gnutella.sourceforge.net/en/?page=features". I will re-write it and anyone is free to edit it.

Well, I have changed the text under features. I am sure I have many things wrong with grammar, spelling, commom wiki use, etc. I didn't know how to cite books. This is only relavent for the sentence on Shareaza. However, the BitTorrent Wiki also contains information on the multi-network nature of Shareaza. "Steal This File Sharing Book" does have many references on strengths and weaknesses of different peer-to-peer networks. However, it does not mention Gtk-gnutealla directly; mainly as the author is Windows and Mac biased.

I have added links to Gnutella client comparisons. Perhaps these should be references. I don't know Wiki protocols well enough (or how to make references). I think they do add support (maybe contradiction?) to what is written.
