Gnutella is blijkbaar niet zo dood als wij allen dachten, want Betanews meldt dat er een nieuwe beta uit is gekomen. De Gnullsoft site is desondanks nog net zo temporarily down als vorige week, toen de tent door AOL werd dichtgegooid:
Gnutella is Gnullsoft's first software offering, and will be a GPL, open-source fully distributed search and download system for media and archive files. Gnutella is similar to the concept of Napster. Instead of having users connect to a single server, slowing down things, Gnutella allows each user to connect to each other directly. When doing searches, Gnutella will search recursively through everybody you're connected to and then to everybody they are connected to and so on. During this initial development cycle, development is being done only on the Windows 32bit system, and is closed. Once 1.0 is released, source will be available for bringing Gnutella to many platforms.

Gnutella .50c mag je hier naar binnen gaan hengelen (thanks [eNeRGy] voor de tip).
