In the recent posts, there were a couple of items that mentioned that
people were finding that LimeWire was returning more results than
gtk-gnutella.
I've had the exact opposite observation, using the gtk-g 0.92.1 and the
current CVS snapshot, against both the stable and beta versions of
Limewire. This is on Solaris 8, with gtkg compiled from source, and the
limewire versions were Java.
Searching for anime files, I would never get more than about 35 results
from LimeWire. gtkg returned over 1000 results, although it had to run
the search for some hours to reach that figure. But within 5 minutes, it
had found about 300 files, compared to LimeWire's 35 in the same
general timeframe.
I've heard that there are issues with firewalls that can cause symptoms
like this, but only if they are mis-configured. Simple port-forwarding or
port-triggering is all that's needed for gtkg to work correctly (or for
LimeWire either for that matter).
So I am surprised to hear that others are not having the same
experience that I am, with gtkg the absolute winner in terms of search
hits.
If anyone would like to take this problem off-line, I would be glad to
compare notes, and do some testing to see why we should be having
such different results.
