meow...Chiana :smokin:

actually to answer your question...Napster and AudioGalaxy ..come to mind.

[Ken]

Napster, Audio Galaxy, Scour, and Aimster/Madster. Xolox also had their own P2P network at one time, but citing pressure from some authoritative source, they stopped that network, and now exist on the Gnutella network only.

That is all I know.

[jipper]

when did xolox have there own network?

[Ken]

A while ago; around 2 years ago (maybe more).

It's when they stopped developing Xolox alltogether.

Then, of course, they "returned" with the new, ad infested Xolox.

i remmeber using it a while ago, wasnt it set to be one of the next like top p2p programs?

[Ken]

For a few months, it was great.

Even when it was just a Gnutella client, it had an agressive search method (consistent search and research). That made it better than the other Gnutella clients at the time, though, at the expense of Gnutella's health.

With the decline of Gnutella, and the ad infestation, this all ended.

[method77]

there have many clients that stopped development but the reason was not always the RIAA. The 2 that matter are AG and napster but the rest of them were useless.

[jipper]

what happened to evolution p2p, it was an AG clone

[rainbowdemon]

Probably disappeared because it was crap. I tried it a long time ago. Had to reformat to get rid of it.
