Looks like that various parties that develop client software for the Gnutella network are having a little fight of their own. Gnutella is a decentralized Peer-To-Peer file sharing network, in the same fashion as WinMX or Kazaa.

Anyway, the BearShare developer Vinnie Falco is seriously bugged by Shareaza client.
Our goal is not to block Shareaza from the network, but rather to give their users the worst possible experience so they will stop using the application. I'll leave it up to your imagination as for the methods we will employ.
