Found the Mac version of a Gnutella client, Mactella, but I was unsuccessful after several attempts of trying to download files with it. It’s almost ready for prime time though.
This reminds me of something I wanted in the early days of FTP and the WWW: task based downloading. I want to tell the program, “Go get me foobar.mp3” and it does it. More explicitly, it finds it, determines the fasted connection, initiates the download, and if the download fails it tries again. That last part of trying again is a serious drawback of Napster and Gnutella. They’ve given us access but not ease. (damn I’m demanding).
