Unhappy the re-coding process

well.. Throwing away your "fantastic" code would be somewhat silly,
but many of the bugs that currently resides in it, are java-bugs.

so subsequently; many of the bugs will be sorted out in time, as java will (hopefully) learn to walk the same way that the other languages walk.

but in the mean time, you should at least consider doing a basic c-version as a professional server or something like that. The java client simply isn't stable enough (and it won't be in a long time) for 24/7 servers. It isn't even stable enough to be a client, and that should mean something.

It's not that I don't respect the work that has been put into this project, it's truly amazing to see it, knowing it's all java. But java is still a toy, and it will be for many year to come.

The portability issues can be overcome in other ways than doing all-java-software. At least that's my opinion.

But the limewire client is a truly amazing piece of software, even though it basically "does not work."

keep up the good work! and let's hope sun keeps up theirs!
