What is Gnutella?

Gnutella is a totally decentralized P2P network which Shareaza uses. Gnutella started as a small, totally decentralized P2P protocol. Its decentralization gave users peace and confidence that it, unlike Napster which preceded it, could never be shut down. Right now it is the fastest growing P2P network in the world. Since it is Open Source, it is constantly developed by a group of program developers. They all work together to aid the Gnutella network in its constant evolution.

There are a lot of programs running on the network apart from Shareaza. Those include LimeWire, BearShare, Morpheus, Gnucleus, Frostwire and Phex.
