Sure, Napster is dead. But Amster isn't just a gateway to Napster, it's a
gateway to a lot of OpenNap servers as well. IMO, these are not "dead" (most
have at least 2000G on board, some have 5000G+, not copyright-blocked). I
still reguarly use it, and it's still the best system (on the Amiga, at
least) I have seen.
Also, although I haven't seen the protocol specification (it's not open to
developers AFAIK), I don't think the modifications needed to support the two
remaining file transfer methods are significantly large. But OK, we don't
need them really ;)

We aren't that far behind. Do a search for Gnutella on Sourceforge ;)
