Limewire!

JCB03	Date: April 8, 2004 @ 3:12 PM I just downloaded limewire, I think it kicks ass for getting music. What're your experiences with it? Is there anything better out there?
ryanwilliams	Date: April 8, 2004 @ 8:12 PM I've a few freinds who use it and like it, but I've heard it's riddled with spyware, so I'm a little hesitant.
jmweirick	Date: April 8, 2004 @ 10:12 PM yes, spyware is a problem with limewire. There are a few spywareless versions, but they are not well maintained. If you want a spyware-free client that uses the same network, than use shareaza.
pog	Date: April 8, 2004 @ 10:18 PM Limewire runs on the gnutella network.... you can choose the client that right for you here http://www.gnutella.com/connect/ I used to use gnucleus
Thaspian	Date: April 8, 2004 @ 11:21 PM It uses gnutella, which sucks. If you must use a gnutella client, gnucleus is undoubtedly one of the best, minimalistic clients you can find, with the best core. Limewire is java which just sucks.
pog	Date: April 9, 2004 @ 12:02 AM I'm checking out morpheus at the moment... so far it looks awesome. erm once you remove all the adware, it can connect to gnutella, kazaa, edonkey. I'll keep ya posted.
mtekk	Date: April 9, 2004 @ 7:23 PM Morpheus sux. If you want multi network, then go with the client that is truely the best at it, Shareaza. Gnucleus was awsome until development came to a stand still gnucDNA is still developed but the gui is out of date.
pog	Date: April 9, 2004 @ 7:39 PM Indeed, morpheus does suck a bit... it's too bloated, and has annoying casino popups
pog	Date: April 9, 2004 @ 11:12 PM Thanks mtekk !!! Shareaza is killer !
Cryxan	Date: April 10, 2004 @ 4:09 AM When I was logging on to the Gnutella network, I did it with Limewire, I forget what version it was back then. I liked that I got to see what search terms were being processed by the client, but I never really liked the network.
pog	Date: April 10, 2004 @ 9:00 AM gnutella runs on a "de-centralized server" system i.e. it hasn't got one server (napster, winmx, kazaa style) that you connect to that administrates everything. What it does is makes the users as a group, the server. on top of this, they made the sourcecode open source so no-one owns it. Effectively, this gives anyone with the chance to make a server, but also, they can't close it's main server down on the account of it being hosted by most of the fast connections on the network.
Thaspian	Date: April 17, 2004 @ 1:38 AM Shareaza is the best. Thank you for the laugh.
mtekk	Date: April 17, 2004 @ 4:58 PM Thaspian what do you stil have it against it? yeah i know it doesn't work on linux, and isn't open source, but for the masses Shareaza is the best to use, and is much better than kazaa.
Thaspian	Date: April 19, 2004 @ 9:11 PM No, gnucleus would be. Try both and tell me Gnucleus has the same amount of lag. Tell me Shareaza doesn't have such an annoying cluttered interface in the preferences. If I was going to use the network, I'd use Gnucleus, or some client geared towards being minimalistic and doing its job - not being overly.. irritating. Also, shareaza combines the ed2k network, meant for big files - with gnutella. The ed2k servers are meant for few big files, not many small files - the ed2k network has a 10 MB chunk size, it just screams not meant for small files. And shareaza is just joining networks where they shouldn't be joined. The last song I dled on gnutella was a 128k fastenc MP3 that sounded like garbage in the cymbals, and the only ones with a different hash didn't come in after a day. Even kazaa lite has better quality than half of the stuff on gnutella if you look for it. Gnutella is a great protocol with quite a bit of potential, but the content on it is just ass.
smithJ	Date: May 20, 2004 @ 12:27 PM Hey Thrasher! its your lil cuz josh! i herd bout u on the net and came to check it out man! awsome! email me at free_style_josh_77@hotmail.com
100thmonk	Date: May 21, 2004 @ 2:05 AM if your after music try soulseek that's slsknet.org not www.soulseek there are other files of all sorts on the network but mostly audio. this is the only filesharing that i have found that does not use spyware.(i.e the only connections it makes are ones pertaining to downloads) i had a hacker on an earlier version but it's been a while since i've had a problem of any sort on this network.
-kaveh-	Date: September 9, 2004 @ 12:26 PM i also use limewire..i think its the best one out there...i go the one that you pay for tho
Traf	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 4:17 AM I think Acquisition is the best..
daft-desert	Date: November 11, 2004 @ 5:02 PM I Use Limewire PRo Its Ok But As Alot Of PPL said it has "riddled" with spyware. Also A Little Trivia Q: Who is a Part Creator FO The Gnutella Networl? A: Justin Frankel (the creator of Winamp) but he left after winamp was sold to AOL before the launch of Winamp5.
davetippman	Date: June 2, 2005 @ 9:21 PM To get rid of sypware from limewire and other programs go to www.kazaawire.tk.Go to the bottom half of the page and download Spy Sweeper. Then go to www.serials.ws to get a serial key. You can also download Limewire Pro version 4.8.1 here. You can also download kazaalite 3.0 preview edition. I just created Kazaawire too so check that out also.
TameasDust	Date: December 6, 2005 @ 10:49 AM is that still around?
K3VIN	Date: December 6, 2005 @ 12:50 PM i got limewire pro which i ironically downloaded and ripped from limewire
Svensta	Date: December 6, 2005 @ 1:16 PM No, Tame its not still around really. Just that you respond to threads that no one has been in for about 7 months is why
