Comparison between LimeWire and BearShare . I compared LimeWire and Bearshare . After a week of testing this are my conclusions : LimeWire : lots of results , slow downloads , handy GUI Bearshare : less results , fast downloads , responsive GUI I did an sample search 8 or 9 times a night with the same keywords . +- 2000 results in LimeWire Only +- 1000 in BearShare +2 MB/Sec downloads in BearShare -500 KB/S in LimeWire . After a lot of obeservation I noticed that my connection maxs out at 4 - 5 MB/Sec I made up my mind . There both staying on my system . :D PS i also made my own installer for BearShare . Only 980 KB !) But I can't put that out since BearShare would sue me . :( |
I received already 3000 results with LimeWire, although they have a soft limit of 2000 somewhere in their code. About the download-speed... it really depends on how lucky you are. The top speed I had with LimeWire was 7Mbit/s within our campus LAN. So basically it is possible to achieve higher speeds with LimeWire. I noticed however, that LimeWire very quickly gives up a download while bearshare retries more often. Neither BearShare (which I'm running with WINE) nor LimeWire reach the download performance of kazaa-media-shell, which doesn't connect anymore. Damn, linux gets discriminated against, again! Apropos. Share your BearShare-client via Gnutella ;-)! |
Limewire slow d/l, bearshare fast??? Are you on a 56k modem? Morgwen |
2-way Cable Modem . The bandwitdhs i stated were not counted from the pograms themself . My router has a function for logging this like this . And i think my router is more accurate in counting what really goes trhu my pipe . |
Hmm, I cannot confirm this... If you have the luck to dowload from a very fast server, than bearshare is sometimes faster... but "normally" Limewire is faster... I used bearshare over months, not only a week! Morgwen |
Yeah , but when downloading 24/7 round the clock , 30 files at once producing more then 2 MB/Sec inbound traffic together I think I can decide wich client is more effecient in handeling connections . Besides it was an personal opinion not an statement . |
