I'm not happy with Limewire either, specially because of 192kb---
--2689--
--3462---
--3787 and most annoyingly--
--5611.
I can't understand why Limewire couldn't get rid of them long time ago, unless people at LW are incompetent----or the hackers that planted those trash links are smarter than anyone at LW in the last few years.
Could you recommend some other alternatives? Ares - Elephant---Phex--EMule? Did I leave one out?

pfft ... lol .. all the p2p networks have been hit by spammers trying to stop sharing of copyright files, not only Gnutella. And LimeWire is not Gnutella, it is simply one of the many programs that use the Gnutella network.
