LW would appear to the unaware to be more popular, just because of the activity in said forum...but us long termers know why that is

errr, LimeWire IS more popular. - If you went to download.com, you would find that LimeWire (if you count the downloads for all plattforms not only windows) had more downloads last week than even Morpheus had (not counting the ~150,000 downloads a week LimeWire gets from macupdate.com).
And btw., the Shareaza forums are way more active than the LimeWire forums ever were.

Yes the Shareaza forums on their homepage not here. We have not many Shareaza users around here because they are visiting their own forum. Limewire´s main forum is based here.

The popularity of a client don´t say anything about the quality! Give Shareaza the money which Limewire has for marketing and we will see who will win the race...

Give Shareaza some decency, to stop calling its network gnutella2, and there'd be a chance, that I'd switch to it.

Till then I won't use, and won't recommend using it, because I think, that it says nothing good about the programmers to do marketing like that.

Its only a name. LW is marketing they are faster than Kazaa... I think this is no reason to ignore the programm.

A small discussion about this point:

@ Morgwen, but Shareaza markets them as the Ultimate P2P (www.shareaza.com) All marketing are "relative truth" if you know what I mean. On the mother site of either raza.com or wire.com I see far more marketing on the raza side and it's been that way since raza 1.0 in 2002 summer...

I don´t care about the marketing as long they don´t pay it with spyware!

They can claim that they are the best - others do the same!

Not for me. When they choose to ignore ethics, I choose not to use their program, and they lose on the long run.

UHHH!!!

This has NOTHING to do with ethic, perhaps its a bad marketing concept nothing more. I am more concered about the other really not ethical clients which are bundling spyware to pay their marketing!

The good thing in a free world is that we have a choice! But you can be sure they won´t loose, even companies like Bearshare and Limewire don´t loose and they are using all kinds of crapware - the user don´t care about it... and they will sure not care about a "name".
