The court order was made against Limewire in the US where the company is based. Thus the company can no longer promote or support its software package. The downloaded version is called "pirate" because it allows you to access the gnutella network no matter where you live, i.e. the network exists independently of Limewire's software and is not affected by the court order.

i downloaded the evolution one for my i mac and when i click on it..nothing happens.

I have an Intel iMac. The download unpacked from the dmg and the installation was trouble free. Perhaps you did not get a clean copy. I suggest you delete whatever you downloaded and try again.

How do i get rid of it? I'm a compudiot.

okay..i think i deleted it. gone from my desktop. So which one do i copy...can you send me a link to download it?

I downloaded mine from evolutionreloaded.

I'm not that good with html but I think you just click on this link and wait for results. If my attempted link doesn't work properly, the link definitely works from this address: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...e-edition.html

i'm going to bed...too crazy. i tried the one you did...it said error on the page...the next one i went through..they wanted money. I'll try again tommorow. Thanks

OK sorry about that — I'm on autopilot and not checking on the links. This seems to work: 4shared.com - free file sharing and storage - download

Found the yo ho ho for my intel iMac and works perfectly. Yowza! Thanks for your help and programming talent.

It was probably just a network issue on the Gnutella Network. Try Frostwire if it still does not work correctly. It seems to work fine for me though, just tested it by searching "Five for Fighting."
