There's no email announcement of LimeWire 4.0. It is already there (currently version 4.0.2, released yesterday, the 18th!)
Upgrade and see the many speed improvements that have been developped with extensive tests since the last two months.
You'll most probably like the new multipane searchs, and you'll see a reduced bandwidth when running in UltraPeer mode.
Note that LimeWire 4.0 integrates a new hashing system for detecting and recovering corrupted downloaded files. Your existing shared library will be hashed prograessively on demand the first time each shared file will be uploaded. This "TigerTree" hasher was highly optimized so that this change will be mostly transparent (however you may see short CPU activity spike for the first time a shared file will be hashed for secured uploads). |
