Because the developers currently working on Shareaza are NOT working on Panthera? Does that answer your question?

I don’t think you can get those single much-sought-after classic rare files you want in torrents.

#41 Okay, the initial developer of Shareaza had a somewhat cavalier approach when he released the Gnutella 2: he didn’t refer to the community, built everything on his own (taking from the community but not giving back), at that time Shareaza was a proprietary freeware (whereas the specs of Gnutella are public), and the name made some users believe that Gnutella 2 was the improved successor of Gnutella whereas it’s not.
More information on http://www.slyck.com/story100_Gnutella_vs_Gnutella2_Part_1
(just keep in mind that BearShare is not a Gnutella client since its takeover by iMesh/Discordia guys).

That said, years later isn’t it finally time to turn the page? He released the source code and left the project (unfortunately). Shareaza is now maintained by volunteers, and personally I’m pretty grateful to all these LimeWire ultrapeers I’m connected to, so I certainly don’t want LimeWire to go out of business :) If we don’t turn the page, it means /they/ win…

Well @ #41 & #42

Maybe zab (LimeWire Developer) needs a new job as he will surely be unemloyed when LW goes down the drain after the court case.

forget the “aside” the correct word is “together”. :)

@31 thanks for setting the record straighter on this. I’d still maintain that the kid was scared sh1tless and sold out. Whether or not this was to avoid a lawsuit is a moot point IMHO (though the well-substantiated claim that Nilson was only named by the MAFIAA on the basis of whois data lends credence to the idea that it was indeed a sellout. It’s not that difficult to cry blackmail after the event). The moral re domain control remains.

iMesh are owned by a highly-secretive Israeli company. However they do have a NY, NY forwarding address that any good whois junkie could find if they wanted (I shall refrain from posting it in case TF censor me again, like with oinky’s holiday snaps, in which he looked FAT).

Fun times.
