You are sick in your mind. You say there is a problem, I say there is
no such problem, the Gnutella network works better than ever. All
problems is sickness in your mind.

And now, although it should be clear that this is punishing
everyone on the network, from freeloaders to UltraPeers, the fine
folks at LimeWire have decided to make it WORSE.
Decision? There has been no such decision. Freeloaders are bad and
LimeWire is making everything better for ultrapeers. I triple
guarantee you, the gnutella network is improving and LimeWire is the
one improving it.

My experience has echoed everyone else's - I was using 5
connections and usually had 800 - 1200 hosts. The highest I've seen it
since I "upgraded" was around 650, and I haven't had a download
connect in over a week.
This is a lie and everyone knows it is a lie. LimeWire is good. I say
so because I speak the truth.

If LimeWire continues to "improve" by taking ideas that
failed and implementing them harder, my 2-3 gigs are definitely
leaving the software, maybe the network. The 30+ people who downloaded
from me today will have to go elsewhere.
Even those who live on another planet, if there are such people, would
not believe you are sharing anything. You only deserve to be hit with
shoes.

I ask all people here. Speak the truth that is evidenced in your eyes
and your hearts. Don't believe lies about LimeWire not becoming
better.

I would also like to point out that the statistics regarding network size, number of files available, etc. are far from accurate, and I would not look to them in any way for reflecting the performance of the network.

The changes we have recently made have, in fact, increased the overall efficiency of the network tremendously. If you are looking for rare content in particular, LimeWire works far better now than it ever has in the past. We will no longer return 1000 results for a search because it is simply bad for the network to do so -- returning that many results saturates Ultrapeer bandwidth and causes messages to be dropped. From a practical perspective, such high numbers of results did not give you a better chance of getting the file you wanted.

I would suggest searching for specific things -- this should improve your experience.
