MANOLITO

MANOLITO is the internal protocol name for the proprietary peer-to-peer file sharing network developed by Pablo Soto, first used by Blubster, and later Piolet. MANOLITO uses UDP for search routing and is based on Gnutella. In addition file transfers use a proprietary protocol based on TCP.
MANOLITO hosts obtain an entry into the network by contacting an HTTP network gateway, which returns a list of approximately one-hundred MANOLITO hosts. Hosts can also be manually connected to. Servents maintain contact with a fixed number of peers (depending on the Internet connection) that are sent search queries and results.
Manolito is a Spanish-language hypocoristic for Manuel ("Emmanuel"). There is a character named Manolito in Mafalda comics. Cuban singer Manolito, from the band "Manolito y su trabuco" is a major Cuban salsa singer.
