Gnut Manual: Ideas for Advanced Use |
6. Ideas for Advanced Use
6.1 High Availability Connection Point
Gnut can be used as a publicized connection point into the main gnutella network. Just set max_incoming to somewhere around 10 or 20, and redirect to 1. It might be best not to share any files in this case as the gnutella traffic itself is liable to consume large amounts of bandwidth.
6.2 Scriptable Downloads
Using an interpreted language such as perl, gnut can be directed to automatically search and download requested files. Never again will you have to worry about when that one host you've been waiting for will get on.
