I've only used Shareaza a few times and preferred WinMX over it, when it was still up and running of course. Hmm, I'll have to check it out for sure, if its decentralized, hopefully everyone will begin using it and it'll be like nothing ever happened!

This thread will definately bring out how many people live their lives on P2P networks, becaue they'll come here and whine about it.

Guess now would be a good time to start coding an underground p2p sharing system...

I agree!

I read that they've even infultrated the Internet2 networks on college campuses.  I sure hope that somehow, someway... someone finds out a  way to make a program that is completely and truely peer-to-peer.  That way there will be no central location of business.  There will be no 'business' to shut down.  C'mon all you code freaks!  Get to it!

BitTorrents doesn't require a tracker, making it decentralized, depending on the client used, like Azureus. So your idea already exists, but no one seems to be using decentralized tracking for some reason.

Yeah, I knew that the decentralized networks existed... but it seems that the applications that in a sense create these networks are created and updated by 'big business' or something that can be shut down. There also needs to be a way to figure out dup'd and 'RIAA Files' so-to-speak.

There is hope. Slyck News has reported that there is now a current work around to connect to the WinMX network through the hosts file which will allow connection to the supernodes. I guess this would be like putting a neon sign on your forehead to the RIAA though that you're a serious pirate, lol. Hopefully it will be back online soon, kinda doubt it though.
