IS everyone excited about the rush of morpheus users to gnutella?
 

I think the network is going to grow at a very high rate with the collapse of fasttrack. I wonder how this will affect the ultrapeer architecture.

I'm excited ....
 

The network is at 350, 000 nodes right now and holding out better than ever. Finally I can get the great selection that till now was only available on the Fast Track network.

The ultra peers must be working good, because I've had all 15 upload slots filled for a day or so with very few incomplete uploads.

However, I noticed that the new Morpheus Preview uses router.limewire.com:6346 for connecting to the network (probably simply because this is what Gnucleus was using), I wonder how the Limewire guys like 300,000 people using them as a portal without retribution ... bandwidth isn't free.

I use to be a morpheus user... that is untill they put out their new version. All I have to say is that is the worst product i've ever used. It was easy enough to connect and search, but try and get a download.. good luck. I had my entire bandwidth being used to the point I could not surf while attempting to download. Because of the problems Morpheus had they had to push out thier new version asap. (I'm sure all it is, is Gnotella with different icons)

Anyways I have since read up on the whole P2P system and have elected to go with clean limewire and am once again happily sharing and downloading the file I like. It has the best interface for your average user and is easy to configure.

My thoughs, not yours.

We're definitely excited about it as well. We have some really nice features coming along (at least we think so), so look out for them in the next couple of weeks.

Actually all it is a slightly crippled version of Gnucleus with new icons.

Does the fight between Kazaa and Morpheus which keeps knocking out the file********* networks disturb anyone?? Are you worried that they're going to eventually screw up both networks here, or is this good for both sides to try to figure things out??

I like new features as much as the next person, but wouldn't it be a good idea to get the current feature set working correctly before moving on to new things? I hate to whine over $8.50, but I feel like I just paid money to become a beta tester. So far I've been able to keep LimeWire running all of about 20 minutes before it grows to about 90MB of RAM and starts using all available CPU time. Calling the released version "stable" is a serious misuse of language. So far, I can't help but feel I just got ripped off for $8.50.

I thought I had signed up for napster, Now I have this subscription to mp3grandcentral, which got me limewire, which lead me hear. All I want is the ability to download any type of music, but I still haven't the ability, and I paid $18.50, to what I thought was napster. Someone help me please!

if its music files you want, look no further than audiogalaxy. it is by far THE best i have tried. i have been using LW for months but was never able to find what i was looking for so a friend turned me on to audiogalaxy and i have it all now! i ran adaware to remove any spy components and it still works great! i even spent $22 on a gold membership because it is sooooooooo great!!!! so many features, so many files, so little time! i only use LW for video files now.

yo yo well umm yah eveyr one did rush to LW but when morphuse gets out of its beta and come out with a mac version well then gnutell might be well destroyed i mean for some reason morphus is stable well more so then LW i dotn know why and LW could fix quite easly jsut make it so that when i click on a dl it dls OK so lest say i want to dl like lord of the rings .avi ok well then i click on it go off to vacation come back and it has downlaoed so what i am saying is that i want LW to look for a users to dl and if i can have mor ppl to dl form then it finds them and lets me and if for like 2 howers no one is on with that file then LW constantly looks for ppl to dl form and when some one comes on it iwll dl form them
