Napster competitor from Nullsoft
Source: Webwereld (Dutch) - submitted by @ministr8or
New app: "Gnutella" Creator: Nullsoft (Winamp) This new app will be released in a month or so, but it will be a new contestor in mp3-downloading. The prog does the same as Napster, and will also be a look-a-like of iMesh, only then for documents, and html, etc. America Online, Owner of Nullsoft, will be between 2 fires, as Napster-like software is a loss for the music-business. Good News, the source code will be like Linux, open source, so you can modify your Gnutella yourself.

Last thing that I'm going to mention about this. You can download the 0.48 version of Gnutella from this website:

Enjoy!

rumor has it that Napster is used by the cybercops to bring out the big players in mp3 piracy, thus giving them a good logging interface to get IPs and then notify the appropiate authorities on the issue. I'd just like to know the progress on it. =B
