RE: [discuss] How hard would it be to add a "search and load"?

Clemems,

Thanks for the compliment.

The code is good for doing that type of thing and we use to have a WishList
feature that did something like that.  However, that kind of behavior -
searching automatically and repeatedly - is extremely damaging to the
network and we discourage all Gnutella developers from doing it.  We have to
constantly tell them that requerying and automated requerying in particular
is extremely damaging.  It doesn't take much activity from a network of a
million people to bring down the entire network.  I would discourage you
from trying to do anything that requires the programmatic issuing of
queries.

Thanks
-greg
