I used to use Limewire. Back when it was actually a decent client and only connected to Gnutella. Back then I had nothing against Limewire. That all changed when they all of a sudden decided to jump on BitTorrent networks to steal files.

The politics the Limewire devs are using now are despicable. Things like blocking older Limewire versions, forcing Limewire users to use their crap bittorrent supported clients. Intrusive upgrade popups, forced DHT, not being able to turn of the Limewire shop.. and a million other bad things about it.

I am staff here and BTW this is the Gnutella forums, not the Limewire forums. If you want the people who lie to you and praise Limewire's Torrent support through the roof, then go to forum.limewire.org

There are other quite good clients like Phex, which stick to maximizing the Gnutella network, instead of intruding on other networks. If you want to try it just click the picture in my signature, which will take you to download page.

I don't have any particular preference in torrent downloaders. But if you are staff, then certainly you know that this is the "Limewire cross-platform" thread underneath the "Current Gnutella Client forums". I am only here because this is the very forum that the Limewire program sent me to when I hit "forums" on their help menu. I will give Phex a try as well.
