Re: Why competing Gnutella clients help LimeWire

That's a quite big topic. Mojito is technically just the name of our Kademlia library. It's not 
as if we implemented a new algorithm. It's using the same algorithm and implements the 
same set of operations (PING, FIND_NODE, FIND_VALUE and STORE). 

So what you need to do is to implement the Kademlia algorithm first and use the same 
message format for the operations later. The default message format happens to be 
Gnutella compatible (the first 23 byte) and is documented in our wiki.

The big challenge with Kademlia is however that there are a bazillion little details that 
nobody has thought about our written down. Working on these things is quite time 
consuming.
