Developer needed
now that i have you attention, i really would like a developer. i can't pay you anything or whatevr but i mainly just have aquestion. I'm not really a good programmer or anything, but i do know enough to be dangerous with vb. All i want to do is create a P2P file sharing program. What i want to know is how to do it, or how it works. I'd like to make this client compatible with a major p2p network like Gnutella (of kazaa, morpheus,etc).
Now if anyone would like to build something like this or tell me how it works, i would be sooo grateful i really need help with this one. thank you

Well, I have some experience with building network/internet applications, and one thing is for sure:
It is not easy!
This is because of all the protection software nowadays, like firewalls and that kind of stuff. But a nice P2P protocol which your application could use, is UDP (User Datagram Protocol).
This is because the UDP protocol does not need a server and client. Both users (peers) can be either a server or a client. Computers using this protocol do not establish a connection, so the application you are building is just a sort of "meetpoint" for the users.
I hope this helps you a little. Good luck!
