I like Gnutella, but I'd like to know if there is any multiprotocol
servent available. IMHO there are some other interesting protocols
like:

- Sun's JXTA which can better flow through firewalls (see
http://platform.jxta.org/TutorialGraphics.html)

- http://gift.sourceforge.net/ (based on the FastTrack protocol which
is used in KaZaA, Grokster etc.)

- http://www.freenetproject.org/ (encrypted and granting anonymity to
the publisher of any shared file; see also
http://jtcfrost.sourceforge.net/
http://www.storrow.org/Software/FreeNews/)

- Possibly OpenNAP access as well

I am sure such servent could become the swiss army knife for
filesharing. Or it could use a server-based proxy to connect to the
different networks like Jabber chat clients do to communicate with
ICQ, AIM and MSN.

I hope Gnutella will eventually evolve into a protocol which would 1)
freely travel across the HTTP proxies and the SOCKS proxies like JXTA,
2) encrypt the transmissions and hide the file publishers like
Freenet... How many years will it take?
