If you like the excellent C# programming language and P2P
technologies, you will love this project. Gnutella2 is
definitely the most exciting decentralized P2P protocol out
there - and it has been for a while.

Is Gnutella2 Good?
Gnutella2 is the best decentralized P2P technology at
present. Centralized file sharing networks like Napster or
eDonkey eventually get shut down. Even if they stay up for
a while, how can a user know for sure he or she is
searching everyone using the same application? One cannot
know. Gnutella 2 is a very efficient decentralized P2P
protocol, with no individual servers to shut down. There is
no investigating what hosts/servers are "good". It just
works.
