True, I keep my system down to a minimum when it comes to installing software. Most of the extras you might have over me are useless. But a good filesharing application is a must have nowadays, and that's where Limewire comes into play. For the average Windows user, I would recommend Gnucleus over Limewire. Swabby contributes alot to Gnutella development and he doesn't **** you off by telling you to give him money or by making you install extra garbage or look at banner ads. He only asks that you report bugs for his beta software and contribute if and where you can. Limewire is an open source application that is developed by a company that follows closed source rules.
