Algunas cosas sobre Gnutella y Gnutella2

Gnutella y Gnutella2 son redes P2P completamente descentralizadas, y así no hay servidor central para conectarse. En lugar de esto, tú te conectas a otros nodos, y ellos te conectan al resto de la red. A Estos se les llama "hubs" para Gnutella2 y "ultrapeers" para Gnutella. Son sistemas normales que han estado en la red mucho tiempo, entonces tienden a ser estables. Cuando tú haces clic a conectar, Shareaza empieza a buscar hubs o ultrapeers para conectarse a ellos. Usualmente, debe tomar menos de un minuto para conectarse, como Shareaza tiene un cache de hosts con muchos hubs o ultrapeers conocidos.

Sin embargo, hubs/ultrapeers vienen y van. Si has estado desconectado algún tiempo (o has tenido problemas con la conexión), es posible que todos los hubs que Shareaza conoce están fuera de línea. Esto significa que puede tardar un largo tiempo en conectarse y en algunos casos no se va a poder conectar para nada. Aquí es donde los GWebCaches entran en acción -- estos son scripts que corren sobre páginas webs que tienen una lista de los nodos a los cuales se intentara conectar, los cuales siempre me mantienen actualizados. Shareaza puede consultar estos servicios en busca de nuevos hosts, y de esta forma lograr conectarte a Gnutella y a Gnutella2. Generalmente, Shareaza consultarpa estos servicios automaticamente, pero a veces necesita alguna ayuda. Si tienes problemas para conectarte a cualquiera de las dos redes Gnutella, entonces intenta consultar estos servicios manualmente, reseteando la lista de servicios y/o agregando un par de nuevos servicios. Esto se describa más abajo.

Verificando la Configuracion

In order to connect to Gnutella, you must make sure that Shareaza can at least become a leaf. To do this, simply go in

Tools -> Shareaza Settings -> Networks -> Gnutella

Verify that you have at least 'Allow this node to become a Leaf' checked. Apply the new setting and try connecting again. If the box was already checked or it still fails to connect, proceed as instructed below.

Querying Shareaza's GWebCaches

Ahora intentaremos consultar los GWebCaches manualmente. Esto generalmente sucede automáticamente, pero en algunas situaciones, necesitarás hacerlo de forma manual. Para consultar a los servicios, sigue los pasos detallados a continuación:

• Inicia Shareaza, si aun no lo has hecho.
• Si la ventara "Discovery Service" no se encuentra ya abierta, aprieta F9 para abrirla.
• Choose a line which says 'GWebCache' in the 'Type' column. Note that the lines with a gray icon are for Gnutella, while the colored icons are for Gnutella2 (or for both networks).
• Right click the line and a menu will pop up.
• Select Query Now from that menu.

Shareaza will then query that service. However it's possible that this will fail for different reasons. For example, the service might not be working anymore. Another reason for failures may be that the Internet Explorer is in Offline Mode. Make sure it is switched to Online Mode while querying the services, even if you use another browser for surfing the net. If querying fails, the 'Failure' column for that line will increase. If it does, then choose another line and try again with that one. If you don't have at least 8 lines in that window, then reset the services as described below.

Resetting Shareaza's GWebCache list

Assuming you're still in the "Discovery Service" window (hit F9 to open it), how many lines are there in that window? You should have a total of at least 8 such services. If you don't have 8, then it's a good idea to reset this list to the default 8 services. If you have more than 8 services, then it's probably fine and you can try to query them as described above. If nothing works, then come back and reset the list anyway. To reset the list, proceed as follows: (Note: This requires at least version 1.8.10.8.)

• Start Shareaza, if not already done.
• If the "Discovery Service" window is not already open, press F9 to open it.
• Select all entries in the list. This may be done by clicking on the first entry, then pressing and holding the 'Shift' key, then clicking on the last entry.
• Deselect all "Server.met" services (check the 'Type' column) clicking on them while holding the 'Ctrl' key: they are used by the eDonkey network, not Gnutella
• Right click the mouse button and select 'Remove', which will delete them all.
• When the list is empty, Shareaza will reload the defaults, thus some new entries should appear now. These are the default services.

Now that the list is reset, try querying them again, as described in the section above. If it still doesn't work, read the section below.

Adding new GWebCaches for Gnutella2

If you can't get connected to Gnutella2 then add the following GWebCaches to Shareaza. To do so:

• Make sure Shareaza is running.
• Click on some of the links below (left column) to add new GWebCaches to Shareaza. If Shareaza asks for confirmation, just select 'Add'.

||[shareaza:gwc:http://bazooka1.servehttp.com/g2/bazooka.php Add Bazooka1]|http://bazooka1.servehttp.com/g2/bazooka.php%7C%7C[shareaza:gwc:http://g2.instantnetworks.net/g2/bazooka.php Add instantnetworks]|http://g2.instantnetworks.net/g2/bazooka.php(Currently Down)||[shareaza:gwc:http://cache.trillinux.org/g2/bazooka.php Add Trillinux]|http://cache.trillinux.org/g2/bazooka.php%7C%7C[shareaza:gwc:http://bazooka.stealthspy.net/g2/bazooka.php Add Stealthspy]|http://bazooka.stealthspy.net/g2/bazooka.php(Currently Down)||

• Query the new services from the "Discovery Service" window, as described above.

Clicking on those links doesn't work? Older versions of Opera and probably many other browsers can't handle those links. In that case, right click the links and select 'Copy link address', 'Copy URL' or whatever applies to your browser. Then go to Shareaza and type Ctrl+D. In the dialog box that appears, Shareaza probably already did insert the link; if it didn't, insert the link from the clipboard with Ctrl+V. Select 'Download', and if Shareaza asks for confirmation, select 'Add'.

Alternatively, you can also mark an URL in the right column of the list above and hit Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard. Then open the "Discovery Service" window (hit F9), right click and choose Add Service, in the appearing box you paste the link (Ctrl+V) and click on OK. Make sure you don't insert any space at the beginning or the end of the URL or it won't work.

Adding new GWebCaches for Gnutella

Here is a list of discovery services for Gnutella. This page contains a large list of services for Gnutella, which you can insert in the discovery service window. Right click the links you find on this page and select "Copy URL" or "Copy Link Address" (depends on your browser). Then open the "Discovery Service" window (hit F9) and select Add Service and insert the URL in the box (type Ctrl+V to paste from the clipboard). Then click OK.

Still problems?

So you tried everything mentioned above and you are still not connected? Try again. Query even more services if you haven't queried them all. Add more discovery services from that page described above.

Still nothing? Then it's possible that something is blocking the outgoing connections. This might be a firewall that you have on your network. This is likely to be the case if you are on a school or an office network, they often filter the outgoing connections. In this case there's nothing you can do, excepted talking to the network administrators.

Please make sure that in the file menu options (in Internet Explorer) you are not in offline mode. Being in offline mode may prevent Shareaza from successfully querying GWebCaches.

A last thing to try is to manually make Shareaza connect to hubs or ultrapeers. This is only intended for advanced users and may work in some rare cases, where all of the above doesn't work. Go here: Setting up manual hub connections.

If you think that it really should work, then you can try to search for your problem on the Shareaza Forum. Use the search button there to search the threads. If you don't find anything, then you can create a new thread, where you describe your problem. Please: Be very detailed about what you have (Computer, OS, internet connection, network situation) and what you tried already (Querying the GWebCaches, Resetting the list, Adding new GWebCaches), also mention that you read this page. And please, be patient and nice, we don't get any money for answering your questions.
