I am with you on this one. Other than Napster, Limewire was the ONLY software I have used. Limewire was a great replacement. But lately, NONE of my attempts to connect would result in anything. I continually received the evil "waiting for other sources" or some gargage like this. I at first I thought it was just because the network was busy, or that there were just not many people on. Days would go by, weeks and even several months and every time I tried to connect to a host I would get more and more tired of the whole Limewire bit. Oh, there were the occasional one out of 25 or 30 attempts that would actually connect for brief periods of time, and then back to the evil message.

Finally, this week after like 2 months of this crap, I decided to try Shareaza and WOW is all I can say. No problems, connecting, the interface is really slick and I have had nothing but good things to say so far. Limewire just "may" have lost a loyal user. I will check on them from time to time, but for any serious needs, I will more than likely stay with Shareaza and hopefully they will not start slowly letting me down as Limewire has.
