There are a couple others not represented on this forum which are spin-offs of LW using the same code. One is a smaller version used mostly in the asian countries. The other, I also have a mindblock on the name but starts with A lol, but you need to buy it & also it now has same problem as the original LW with connecting. (I have tried both these last two clients in years past.)
The popular one that is most used by asian countries is "Cabo", and the other one which you must pay for is "Acquisition"!

Traditionally I've used Phex as an alternative to using LW. Phex tended (more-so in past) to connect to the 'other' gnutella clients (whereas LW generally connects to other LW or FW hosts), thus was good for searching the rarer material. However over past 12 months I noticed it mostly connected with LW hosts. Phex's interface is not as simple as LW & does not have some of the same whistles but is a good program anyway. My 2nd fav to LW. Phex can easily often connected to quite a few hosts when connecting & is settled.

Edit: oops I just opened Phex up & it connected to 4 other Phex users immediately, so there you go lol. Phex generally connects to 5 or 6 or more ultrapeers when in leaf mode so this helps of course (LW Basic only connects to 3 ultrapeers, & LW Pro to 5.) The longer you are connected the better it behaves. Phex has more likely-hood of connecting to other clients and particularly finding 'other' gnutella clients in searches in comparison to LW. At least this was and still is always the reason I like to use Phex. Those 'other' (non-Limewire or Frostwire) gnutella clients often have those rarer files you may be seeking. (With exceptions, both LimeWire & FrostWire generally only find other LW & FW clients in their search results due to their connection pattern.)

After using GTK-Gnutella for a while, now i'm using Phex again (as Ultrapeer)!

@Lord of the Rings

That's just one of the reasons i'm using Phex, because Phex connects to "other" clients too... nice to see when i'm connected to alot of Phex clients ;-)

If you create a filter, you can filter out alot of fake-files (very simple to do!) that's another reason for me to use Phex.
