Simple question - Is Limewire fucked?

Whenever I start it up it goes no higher than 1 green bar at the bottom left hand side.

Should'nt be posting this here.

But mines is ok

Mines is fine.

Discussing the app should be ok, mind you I wouldn't want to step on the toes of the hard b*stard that is the dedicated moderator on here!

Got to say, in terms of p2p sharing apps, Limewire would be well down my list.

Darn tootin ... discussion of non-microsoft products will be looked on very severely

It wouldnt even be on my list .. crock of shite

It's the same with me.

What does everyone use instead of Limewire these days? Are any of them actually safe?

mines has been fine, although i think the same may happen to me eventually as it happened to me with an earlier version about 4 or 5 months ago

Don't use Limewire period!!!

You are just asking for trouble and it's more hassle than it's worth!

Bit Torrent technology is the way forward.

Just remember the copyright laws.

was impressed with it when downloading albums however i felt it was too much effort to find some files

I tend to use a 3 pronged approach. For small and single files (like a windows app <1Mb) I'll use eMule, for single music tracks I use Soulseek, and for everything else I use torrents (with a uTorrent client).



Bit Torrent? Files? Difficult to find?

Hmm... right, I'm not going to post links, but by God the net is just swamped with torrents!
