Re: Search by urn ??

Quoting Aaron Walkhouse <[email protected]> from ml.gnutella.dev-forum:
:As far as I know, LimeWire doesn't _block_ hash searches from passing
:through, but simply does not respond with hits.

As far as I know, LimeWire is no longer feeding its QR table with urn:sha1:
entries, meaning that urn:sha1 searches can no longer succeed.  Due to QRP
and last-hop QRP matching, the fact that LimeWire is no longer feeding the
QR tables means urn searches are most likely to fail, not being relayed
far enough.

Arne is right though: the proper structure to perform SHA1 searches would
be to use the DHT.  Unfortunately, LimeWire has not published definite
specifications about their DHT: protocol used for exchanges, architecture
of the data store there, etc...  I don't like to reverse engineer code
to come up with specifications.
