I've come to find gnutella almost useless for anything I'm in a hurry for. I mainly use it to randomly browse and add anything that seems interesting and will actually download to my collection. Even Usenet is less frustrating in general. FreeNet seems the most promissing but since it has no built-in search mechanism you have to browse the index sites for what you are looking for. When I move somewhere with cable/dsl access again I'll make my sizable collection available on FreeNet if they fix it to handle so many files by then. (I've recently learned FreeNet can't yet handle 100gig influxes of data. *sighs*) Your best bet might be IRC. Find some people with common interest and share to your hearts content. *shrugs* (I spend a lot of time gathering files off the Net so there is my experience.) *^*^*^* Michael McGlothlin <mogmios@mlug.missouri.edu> http://www.nomadphones.org On Wed, 10 Oct 2001, David S.
