Isnt It Time We Developed Our Own P2p Network

[Snifer]

So you're waiting the death of kazaa? i think that's "avoidable"... so you might be waiting forever... What about making a new client which supports current fasttrack protocol and a new protocol? (does emule kademlia comes to your mind?).
Which network do you recommend instead of fasttrack? (which you say is superior).

Who is dying?I see everyday 4 million users online,3 million.....

I didn't say that kazaa is dying, but it looks that paul's waiting that, because he's not interested in developing a client based on fasttrack

Anyway, fasttrack IS dying, because most people in north america are afraid of the RIAA, and are not using clients targeted by them. But, as Paul said, it's still a network with a really big userbase.

i was going to make a p2p but the only windows programming language i'm really good at is Liberty BASIC and that's kinda slow. and i don't know much about protocols and network stuff. plus i don't have time cause i'm 16 and i have school and a job to worry about. otherwise yeah i would totally make an open source p2p.

there's gotta be someone out there that'll make one though. there has to be.

Its illegal to create a client that will connect tothe Fasttrack network, the best we could hope for is a p2p network that runs beside klite on its own network (like IMesh does), but without the kazaa source code the integration would be minimal and it would be exactly like running another p2p application along with kazaa. So if you want to have another p2p network run another p2p program, i'd suggest emule.
Oh and I think creating a p2p application would be hard enough without having to bother trying to get it to work with kazaa (lite)

Already started making a new p2p client, possibly a new network as well.

I suggest to work on current free networks.

More developers -> more ideas -> better clients and networks

who gives a shit that making another P2P client for the FastTrack is illegal... why, because Sharmen Networks isnt gonna sue anyone, after all they havent persued any legal action against KaZaA Lite or Grokster, and forgive me if im wrong but wasnt morpheus the program that originally created the FastTrack network, therefore Sharmen are the ones breaking the law.

You are wrong, but I forgive you..

Kazaa B.V. designed the network and the first Kazaa client, Kazaa Media Desktop; MusicCity bought a licence to distribute a clone of that client as their own, named Morpheus.
