Could you give metrics and features?

#5The future has always been DHT, but having no built-in search feature like Kademlia is a huge oversight imo.
There are websites that crawl DHT and you can search using them https://btdig.com but of course it would be better to have something decentralised.

THE MAN IN THE ARENA
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt
Excerpt from the specch "Citizenship In A Republic" delivered at The Sorbonne Paris, France April 23, 1910

Does Gnutella still exist? I don't think I've heard that name in a very long time.

Me: What is DHT?
Also Me: Distributed hash table.
Me: Thanks.
Also Me: You're welcome, but don't be too impressed. I googled it.

I have torrented but am not very familiar in this field, but I have to say, this is the first time I've ever heard of gnutella.
Less technical people I know have heard or used TPB and are likely never to have heard of this as well.
I am curious (although I'll be googling as well) on what makes it better. As a personal preference though, if given the option, I would rather make a project that used by many reliably than to have one that is really really fine tuned but not used at all.
However, if I do see that gnutella is better for my purposes, then I will gladly make the switch and will say thanks in advance.

DHT is a protocol that allows peers to exchange data about torrents and peers; you can download the contents of a torrent by its hash instead of having to download a .torrent file and connect to a server to find peers.
Kademlia is similar for eMule, only that it also allows search.
