are you people mass-producing those shit threads to push the good ones out of the catalog or what?

What is Gnutella?

One of the first decentralized p2p networks. Used by Limewire, etc.

Torrents are better therefor no one uses it anymore. Simple.

But why only Gnutella? Ares and eDonkey still get millions of users.

ed2k (eDonkey) is a live and well, and even though torrents made a dent in the success of the network, the ed2k protocol is still more capable than bittorrent.

The biggest problem is the outdated eMule client which hardset the slotlimit to 3kb/s. There are mods like MorpXT and alternative clients like aMule who does things better.

Open sauce = no spyware
no spyware = no stolen credit cards
no stolen credit cards = no ads
no ads = no normalfaggots

When will private trackers start using Gnutella?

more like a sucker punch through the spine
I have not met a single normalfaggot who has talked about eDonkey

Why do you want to include normies? They can't be saved.

because they're extra seeds

What good threads, the millions of browser threads we have posted every other day? Dead topics that were started in 2016 and are still in the catalog?

I was looking for numbers on Gnutella and came across this. Gnutella is dead even for child porn. Ares, eDonkey and Torrents are still used. Gigatribe (?) is popular is well.

Gnutella used to be number 1 source for CP arrests. Sad.

Disgusting.

It's a good thing that so many pedophiles use open p2p networks. LEA can make easy arrests. p2p networks are dying though, even for pedophiles. The low-hanging pedos are moving to phone apps to trade CP.

I never imagined that other P2P protocols were more used then BitTorrent.
I remember reading somewhere that ~50% of the internet traffic is torrenting. Is this bullshit then?

Those numbers are just for torrents they are currently tracking. They have to scrape the peer list every few minutes for watched torrents. That can't cover every torrent that has CP.

Those other p2p networks are easier to track. If you have a list of known CP hashes, you can find all IP/GUID's making them available.

Gnutella2 still has more users than i2p, freenet, ipfs, zeronet, gnunet and maidsafe combined.

Abstract

We provide detailed measurement of the illegal trade in child exploitation material (CEM, also known as child pornography) from mid-2011 through 2014 on five popular peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks. We characterize several observations: counts of peers trafficking in CEM; the proportion of arrested traffickers that were identified during the investigation as committing contact sexual offenses against children; trends in the trafficking of sexual images of sadistic acts and infants or toddlers; the relationship between such content and contact offenders; and survival rates of CEM. In the 5 P2P networks we examined, we estimate there were recently about 840,000 unique installations per month of P2P programs sharing CEM worldwide. We estimate that about 3 in 10,000 Internet users worldwide were sharing CEM in a given month; rates vary per country. We found an overall month-to-month decline in trafficking of CEM during our study. By surveying law enforcement we determined that 9.5% of persons arrested for P2P-based CEM trafficking on the studied networks were identified during the investigation as having sexually offended against children offline. Rates per network varied, ranging from 8% of arrests for CEM trafficking on Gnutella to 21% on BitTorrent. Within BitTorrent, where law enforcement applied their own measure of content severity, the rate of contact offenses among peers sharing the most-severe CEM (29%) was higher than those sharing the least-severe CEM (15%). Although the persistence of CEM on the networks varied, it generally survived for long periods of time; e.g., BitTorrent CEM had a survival rate near 100%.

When was the first pirated mp3 released?

The first real-time mp3 player came out in 1995 so 1995. mp3 warez groups like Compress da Audio showed up in 1996

...

But is that because its better or just thats its been around longer?

Freenet has been around since 2000. Gnutella came out the same year.

Probably 1995, the same year the format went public. People have been sharing commercial software pretty much since Mainframe computers were first introduced into college campuses in the late 1950s to early 1960s. Back then there was no real perceived notion that copying = theft. In fact, the very idea that copying software was theft didn't come until the early to mid 1990s when trade organizations and governments began cracking down on it with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 and earlier with the World Intellectual Property Organization treaties of 1996.

Copying software, ie. the duplication of information, is not stealing. This notion is, I believe, a social construct. Intellectual Property is, by definition, imaginary.
