"Gnutella (/n\u028C\u02C8t\u025Bl\u0259/ with a silent g, but often /\u0261n\u028C\u02C8t\u025Bl\u0259/) (possibly by analogy with the GNU Project) is a large peer-to-peer network. It was the first decentralized peer-to-peer network of its kind, leading to other, later networks adopting the model. It celebrated a decade of existence on March 14, 2010 and has a user base in the millions for peer-to-peer file sharing.In June 2005, gnutella's population was 1.81 million computers increasing to over three million nodes by January 2006."@en . . .
