2,27 kiB/s hurt! 

I'm sorry to talk as simple user again, instead of with technical terms, but: 

The DHT is intended to fix specific searches. To consume more bandwidth than 
Gnutella kills that idea. 

Just think about a leaf node in Gnutella which works with often less than 1 
kiB/s bandwidth but which suddenly suffers more than 2 kiB/s outgoing traffic! 

Or does the DHT get done by UPs only (or by DHT UPs)? 

If not: Please keep the Modem users in mind! 
There are still people behind 56 kiB/s Modems! 


Do you publish keywords? -> if yes it leads to much unneccessary store 
traffic. Please keep keyword searches for the Gnutella keyword queries. 

And please don't assume that the DHT will make Spam disappear. It will just 
delay spammers for a while, and afterwards they will be overjoyed, because 
they can now spam-kill specific hashes. 


But after all this criticising: Getting gtkg into the Gnutella DHT is a great 
step! Any congratulations for getting the gdf steaming again! 

Best wishes, 
Arne
