Do you know what is funny? You said that your "SUPER" client is also connecting to Gnutella... perhaps you donīt know how Gnutella works BUT if you are using two Gnutella clients at the same time the speed can of course be MUCH different and this says nothing about the "client" speed. Gnutella is a P2P client this means you are only able to reach a small part of the Gnutella net, so you can use two clients at the same time but are connected to different parts of the net... no need to mention that one part of the net can be faster than the other!

You should investigate how a net works before you claim what is better or not.

btw Poisoned scans:

Gnutella
gift
FastTrack
OpenFT
Read what you wrote... now think... read it again and think again...

Do you have a solution? No? I will give you the anwser... Limewire scans ONLY Gnutella... of course you can compare other clients with Limewire or other REAL GNUTELLA clients - you are talking about FOUR networks!!!

LOL, - VDSL is more efficient because it allows connection speeds up to 52Mb/s compared to ADSL's 10Mb/s. Your connection is limited to 256Kb/s and you still get off on having VDSL. It's just sad, man.

I think it's fair to compare LimeWire to GiFT. Depending on what you are looking for GiFT may have an advantage over LimeWire due to the fact that it connects to Fasttrack and OpenFT which have a slightly different content from Gnutella. On the other hand GiFT is neither a very good Fasttrack client nor a great Gnutella client. - A jack of all trades and master of none. And it will never become an option for the mainstream user until it has its own Gnutella ultrapeers.

poor wee puss cat
 
Ursula,
You have disarmed me entirely.
I'm laughing so hard, I can barely quote the words of the immortal Leslie Saroney (aka Old Mother Reilly): "Don't do that to the poor puss cat --- no, no, no, no, no."
For troubled times and interminable disputes, he also memorably advised: "I lift up my finger and I go tweet tweet, shush, shush, now, now, come, come." (Please excuse use of strong language in a public forum.)
However, can you explain, for a card carrying Old Codger, what a Serial Troll might be? I'm not at all sure I'd like to bear such a title.
I have a feeling it means: "Don't post any more, Mrs Moore. Mrs Moore, please don't post any more!"
With lyrics like this, you can perhaps see why I find it hard to get a single hit from users with shared tastes --- and why the DL speed of such rare hits is important to me.

PS I think every network participant who is sharing a file from early recordings by Jimmy Durante, Carmen Miranda, Cab Calloway, Noel Coward, Ivor Novello, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter and so on had better stop using the P2P network if you're worried about copyright on remastered material. Anything that was released originally on 78rpm seems likely to have been remastered. Go arrest them immediately on a charge of Old Songs. But remember: "A policeman's lot is not a happy one."
I go, I go.

Comparison is always good. But the first posts I read from (not only in this thread here) him he only said that his client is faster and that it also uses Gnutella... now I read it connects to four networks, is it really a surspries that a REAL Gnutella client canīt be faster than four networks?

And he could make ONE thread in the general section and donīt mention it every second post... good that I am not the only mod around. :)

No, this only means donīt post or ask for serials anymore. We are no warez forum, you are welcome to discuss about "almost" all other things with us. :)

Forums are a fascinating modern phenomonum. High technology for the deaf.

No matter what you say someone finds a way to ignore everything except what they want to hear or think they hear.

No matter how often you say you are on Mac OSX you are told to check against Virii and background activities interfering. Say you have tried comparable set-ups on the same network and machine and you are not comparing like with like (for the obtuse I have run LW, P, acqlite, acquisition, Carracho, Hotline etc both together and separately over a protracted period of time). Outline what tactics you use to try and improve performance and get lectured both on your "ignorance" then get your own advice back as "tips". No matter how you say don't care as long as you get results and you are cheating because you use a multi network client!

What is it, did you take a blood oath on LimeWire or something?

I am not "getting off" on VDSL, just that it is an unusual cabling system and I have been told it was used because it has small nodes better linked to the server. ADSL is more like a party line. Not that the details are that important. Unless that is cheating too. btw I am not limited to 256k, I have just chosen that, another example of reading into something that isn't there.

For the perenially thick, I am using all the software on the same system (although I have tried it on others as well). Each possible source of difficulty I have answered. I still am waiting on a clear answer as to how to get LW to even remotely function well.

I am impressed by one software, not because of the color of the icon, but because it works very well.

I won't blame you if you think I'm a thicko, but I don't understand this answer.
To me a serial is Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the radio plays that always ended in a cliffhanger to be resolved the following week when the hero broke free "with a single bound". I don't remember making comments about serials. And I've never heard of a "warez", although I like to think I'm on fairly intimate terms with my native tongue.
Sorry.

Ok, I am no native speaker but you are talking about "series" not serials, serials are keys which you need to use copyrighted software. I donīt know what ursula edited, I read the edit note...

If you want an exact answer you should ask per PM!

One is tempted to occasionally believe that we cater to the blind here as well.

Hmmm, must be nice to be so secure, but, do tell - WHAT are these people up to ? Not a con, is it ?

Perhaps you missed the following which is not from that many hours ago...
So, by popular demand, a rerun just for you !

I assure you that what you say here is most definitely not true.

A post that expresses negative views about a client or Gnutella Network in general will receive no 'special attention' from the moderators here.

Repetitive posting on exactly the same subject, spread through many threads and done within a short period of time will receive 'attention'.

There is no deliberate intention to 'protect' any client in these forums. There is no desire to censor members and guests here other than in regards to 'socially' offensive behaviour and/or encouragement to infringe copyright.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, you have finally gone far enough to merit said 'attention' and our very own beloved 'silver dragon' has moved all of the other thread I have quoted above to a more appropriate forum.
You have caused this action.

Stick around, crack the problem and post your results, please.
