Hey everyone. Im pretty sure its impossible to run Limewire 5, 1.8 or find 1.6. However an easy solution is to download frostwire instead, pretty much identical to limwire and should work no probs FrostWire.com - Official Website - Download Free P2P BitTorrent/Gnutella Client - No Subscriptions, Just Download and Install

LW 5.1 can be obtained from the LW site by clicking on old versions link. ;) LW 5.2 is the default newer version however. LW 5 will not run on older macs or OSX 10.4 or earlier.

Frostwire review
 

If your on Mac 10.4 and simply want to download music then id would have to say Frostbite is far better in terms of quick installation, amount of music and download speed, its the perfect alternitive

hola

hola noqueroenviarmimail :) :welcomegnut:

It's not good ettiquette walking into another program section & telling everyone to use a different program because you do. Imagine if over 10 million LimeWire users went to the FrostWire forum & told everyone to use LW instead. FrostWire has its own forum section on these forums, you can brag about how good it is there. ;)

Dont be a dork provide a solution
 

Thing is mate Limewire doesnt work for Mac 10.4's, i'm not bragging about how the company is better im just providing an alternative. When I was having trouble with this I googled the problem and this thread came up, however no one provided a quick fix. Using Frostwire is the fix, im not a Frostwire indiser or anthing it just works better :)

I'm very happy with LW 4.16 pro ... have been ever since it was released year & half ago. Tests have shown it works better than LW 4.18; And better than Frostwire. People are free to choose whichever software they wish. I shall keep my notes about FrostWire's poor network behaviour between myself & the LW devs. I don't or rarely ban FW hosts .. but I've heard a lot of LW users do due to FW's aggressive behaviour. FW becoming another of the old infamous Morpheus versions?

When FW was first released with 3 ultrapeers .. the users said it was as good as LW Pro (despite they'd never tried LW pro.) One of the FW devs ... arrogant by name & character ... pushed FW to connect to 4 Ultrapeers instead of 3. The 3 original FW devs were against it .. they had to wait for this dev to get the windows FW versions ready for release, .. eventually helping him & doing most of the work. (Users still kept saying it was as good as or better than LW Pro.) This dev pushed FW into connecting to 5 ultrapeers in his typical arrogant fashion. Those 3 original FW devs left, not wanting a part of it. FW was originally only supposed to be equivalent to LW Basic but a certain head-inflated dev pushed it. Now the arrogance is starting to show through in FW's behaviour on the network, pushing, making more requests than it should. I see FW hosts 'auto-banned' frequently with my LW. Not because of me ... but due to their client, & the way they use it.

Helpful FW users; last time I connected to their so-called community online ... I was abused by a bunch of what seemed like less than teenage aged people. That's the FrostWire community for you. I daren't even try to use that function ever again. :eek: :rolleyes:

Oops we're getting off the topic of this thread; mac 0SX 10.4.11 and Limewire

I've used LW 4.16 happily on two mac computers .. an intel & a G4. FW is the only one that's ever frozen on me btw.

(Posting a direct link to another software in this thread topic was what I was referring to, mentioning it was something else.)
I could just as well post links to Phex (far superior to FrostWire, connects to more ultrapeers & less spam), BearShare, Gnucleus, etc. etc. :)
