Arrow Another LimeWire program (To people who can't connect)

What’s another program like Limewire? I am personally sick of seeing people having to suffer with their new Limewire and obviously LW doesn’t deserve our business since no patches have been released. We shouldn't have to spend so much of our own time just to get the program working... It should be 3 simple steps to getting this thing to work. PC specs, FIREWALL, Cable INTERNET and that’s it... We shouldn’t be messing with proxy or other files THAT IS WHY WE PAY MONEY TO THE PROGRAMERS TO HAVE THAT FIXED FOR US ALREADY! They shouldn't release programs that only work for 20% of the people!

What is another program that’s similar to LW which we can all switch too? Because the suffering with LW has to stop! People need to forget about them and move on.

Please share other programs which you have found very reliable that we can try out. thanks.

Phex is a great alternative that is currently under active development...

BearShare expired beta which can be found here is what I normally use for gnutella....make sure to read the whole thread for tips on how to set up the program and get the most out of it..

and as I always advise when using Gnutella...USE PEERGUARDIAN2 AND HAVE A GOOD FIREWALL RUNNING!
