Gnutella (pronounced or ) is a file sharing network used primarily to exchange files. As of December 2005, Gnutella is the third-most-popular file sharing network in the Internet, following eDonkey 2000 and FastTrack. While figures vary from hour to hour and day to day, Gnutella is thought to host on average approximately 2.2 million users, although around 400 000-500 000 are on at any given moment. *
History
The first client was developed by Justin Frankel and Tom Pepper of Nullsoft, in early 2000, soon after the company's acquisition by AOL. On March 14, the program was made available for download on Nullsoft's servers. The event was prematurely announced on Slashdot, and thousands downloaded the program that day. The source code was to be released later, supposedly under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
