XoloX / ˈ z oʊ l ɒ k s / was a Gnutella-based peer-to-peer file sharing application for Windows. It advertised having no spyware, adware, or hijackware. However, upon installation, it prompted the user to install programs suspected to be of that kind. Also, Microsoft Anti-Spyware detected adware programs when you started to install the program.
In February 2002, Morpheus, a commercial file sharing group, abandoned its FastTrack-based peer-to-peer software and released a new client based on the free and open source Gnutella client Gnucleus. The word Gnutella today refers not to any one project or piece of software, but to the open protocol used by the various clients.
In November 2002, Michael Stokes announced the Gnutella2 protocol to the Gnutella Developers Forum. While some thought the goals stated for Gnutella2 are primarily to make a clean break with the gnutella 0.6 protocol and start over, so that some of gnutella's less clean parts would be done more elegantly and, in general, be impressive and desirable; other developers, primarily those of ...
Phex supports most of the recent features of the gnutella network. [2] [3] Additionally it enables the creation of private networks over the internet, [4] has a powerful search result filter, [5] shows client country flags, and can export the list of shared files into multiple formats, some of which can also be read out and downloaded directly by another Phex.

An academic research paper analyzed Gnutella and eMule protocols and found weaknesses in the protocol; many of the issues found in these networks are fundamental and probably common on other P2P networks. [1] Users of file sharing networks, such as eMule and Gnutella, are subject to monitoring of their activity.
Tiger tree hashing and other gtk-gnutella features make file transfers as efficient as BitTorrent. Specifically, gtk-gnutella supports partial file sharing, [3] remote queueing [4] and files larger than 4 GiB. [5] Overlap checking was the only mechanism to guard against bad data prior to versions 0.96.4.
