What do you think of it...? Just wondering.
-
LimeWire Pro > Frostwire > Limewire.
-
/me hopes u know theirs a limewire pro turbo
-
And what might this Limwire Pro Turbo be?
Everyone I talk to says Limewire is terrible whether you have Pro or Free but I have used Pro for about 3 years and never had any problems.
-
Evil.
-
I'm cool with free... The whole reason I got it was for free music. Pay for free music? = defeating the purpose.
-
First off torrent the pro version. Second right now I am trying to get Limewire Turbo and I will let you know what it's like when I get it.
-
Phex > all
-
Doesn't Frostwire = Free Limewire Pro?
Phex > all
How much RAM does Phex use?
-
I don't know, but it's Java, so don't get your hopes up.

Lol its funny I had problems this morning with limewire, it took it 15 minutes to connect to the network and it has never done that before. Other than that I've never had problems with it or gotten a virus. Everyone says it gives you viruses but I beg to differ. I think thats only if you try to download games or aps. And no one needs limewire pro. Regular limewire gives you music for free and thats all you need. Faster download times doesn't make a big difference, it just speeds up the process of the government coming to your house, taking all your stuff and sticking their fingers up your a**. And if you want movies use a torrent downloader, I use bitloard.
It's simple.........
limewire > than buying music.
-
Eeh, Torrents are better than Limewire/Kazaa/whatever else you find.
-
Torrents are nice for movies but not for downloading individual songs though.

I agree.

Exactly my thoughts...
Even when I understood nothing about computers, I still somehow had a problem believing that a song could have a virus coded into it, much less be somehow executed to screw your computer up.
-
Well then you'd be wrong actually. Several media players have had exploits that let arbritrary code execute from a media file. :D
-
Really? Do you have an example?

:D
I don't believe it's the only one too, and other players, like Winamp, have had trouble with these kind of problems.
-
soul seek is a good program for only songs.
-
Do you guys want to hear something funny. Limewire you can't download anything free, but if you want limewire pro you have to pay. So why not cheat limewire off using limewire, (cheating itself off by using it) and download limewire pro off of limewire, then you can get it for free. LMAO that;s what I did.
-
funny stuff yo... but it's been mentioned already. but by using a torrent
-
Limewire is alright, Gets the job done. But coLa hit the nail on the head here, Soulseek is the best programme around if you're looking to get music, especially if your looking for rare stuff.

For single songs? Use this (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=-inurl%3A(htm|html|php)+intitle%3A"index+of"+%2B"last+modified"+%2B"parent+directory"+%2Bdescription+%2Bsize+%2B(wma|mp3)+"SEARCH+HERE"&btnG=Search)
-
It's funny, because people say they like limewire, but not torrents.
Too bad Limewire IS torrenting.
Fail.
Edit: play3r1 are you scope?
-
Limewire is P2P isn't it?
-
Actually, Limewire uses the gnutella network to share files, BitTorrent-protocol applications do not. Both applications are 'P2P' to varying degrees, but that's not saying much really.
I used Limewire for individual songs up until recently, but then it's just been taken over by all those junk results. I just don't bother these days, too much hassle.

I've kinda noticed that the junk results aren't really a problem unless you're searching for popular artists or songs the radio plays over and over again... The stuff I get usually doesn't have almost any (Nobody's going to bother tagging spam with an artist's name no one really listens to...).

yeah for a while that was true, but nowadays it seems like there is some sort of bot which returns results based on your search terms, so you get a million fake entries no matter what you type in. I used to use soulseek but I couldn't get very consistent results (Even though you could usually get some pretty rare stuff).
Shareaza is a bit better than limewire seeing as it can connect to a lot of different sharing networks, but it still suffers from the junk results.

They should have a $#@% filter. If the description obviously has NOTHING to do with what you searched for, it shouldn't be shown. :P
-
Some peers/ultrapeers are bots. If you search for something, when they recieve the search request they create a file and rename it to your search string, with possible modifiers to make it look more realistic. Also, some files that have nothing to do with what you searched for appear because the bots tag them with huge amounts of random tags, including what you searched for.
-
Yeah, but you just filter their IP.
Problem = solved.
