LimeWire download accelerator
 

I think should be a LimeWire download accelerator. It should works searching more sources for download, just like kazaa accelerator. Or, if there is, other type of acceleration.
Thanks

:D
;)

no there shouldn't, except if you want to kill Gnutella.

Fool idea, that killed Kazaa.

:rolleyes:

I remember there was a 3rd party one for LW but it turned out to be a dud. It caused more problems than it was worth & didn't work anyway.

Most people talk about the 3rd party. Whats that? Can u give me al link?

BTW = LimeWire is the BEST P2P client EVER!

Search the forum for accelerator. It only worked with one Windows version & apparently crashed the computer most of the times. That was from user feedback. It apparently doesn't work anyway. It was good for people with vivid imaginations who didn't mind their computer crashing all the time.

Accelerator with Kazaa worked just fine & THAT is not what killed Kazaa. Adware & spyware killed Kazaa & Grokster. I used both & enjoyed them as well as Bearshare, Aimster, Fileshare & Napster. In all cases, except Napster was an accelerator necessary. All this talk of crashing the network----what is the network if not us. How could we overload the millions of computers and the power of those computers if we are not centralized? I enjoy LimeWire for now but as a realist know there is another program down the pike. Accerator?? It's coming.

the fool idea, is that when i search for a file, if it ever stops it just sits on the bottom like a turd. We NEED an accelerator! If the idea seems taxing, work one into the program that researches only every hour instead of constantly, but this is a necessity.

LW doesn't need one. Not if it's used wisely. I tried a softw from another network that searches forever almost & was an absolute pain. Yep it would be taxing on the Gnet. And the Gnet programmers are trying to be responsible about the way they design Gnet apps so they don't damage the network. Which would you prefer ... a program that searches endlessly & gets results back very slowly, & the downlds are very slow. Or would you prefer one that gives you quick results & quick downld speeds. Would you prefer to drive a car thru the peak hour traffic of central NY or drive a ferari on a beach or country road. lol :rolleyes: :D

An accelerator is a doche idea but has a hint of an idea that may work, the abbility to find an unlimited ammount of sources seems strong. When i download MP3z n Programs all i get is one surce even if there are 30 people sharing the same file. I use pro & get this an accelerator is pointless if you want more download speeds BUY PRO.

Accelerator? You need broadband
 

I agree with LOTR and Night-Fire, an accelerator is a really naff idea because software accelerators only give the appearance of more speed without giving you anything.

Back in the dim and distant past I had a dial-up connection, I also got myself an accelerator which worked by caching (in my PCs memory) the next logical connection. However, if I decided to surf somewhere else, rather than the next screen page, I would loose the cache and my fake speed.

LW works by making dynamic connections, i.e. if you loose a connection to a file you are downloading LW tries to find another without interupting your download. How would you cache connections like that especially as one the many PCs you are connected to can be switched off at any time.

What is needed, if you have a slow connection, e.g. dial-up, is a faster connection, i.e. broadband (ASDL).

Nothing else will give you the speed you want.

Re: Accelerator? You need broadband
 

LOL Don't Tease me im on DU (till monday). but you have a strong point. Yet some people are like me they want DSL but parents won't allow them to have it (mostly in Australia (this country is full of tight A*S's)) This is for the fact broadband is a expencive item to have here. EG: a ISP im going with does 12Gig Dls/Capped after the 12 Gigs have been Dled. They charge $30 AUD a month, some places world wide charge about $10 AUD for the same thing just a tad less DL's.

Yep Night-Fire, ISP services here are very much in the early phases of marketing & still developing infrastructure around the country to help with increased speeds & services. I'm on unlimited* u/d but only 264/64 kbps.

People might be duped into the concept of an accelerator but they'll find in the end it was a waste of money & possibly stuffed up their computer.

Yep Tell me about it but soon 256, 512 & 1.5MB will b killed at the end of this year because of DSL2 as soon as that happens we r sweet. what isp r u with because im thinking of a company with the initials IP**m*s (censering for possible infringment issues) 256/64. If u r with them can u tell me if they r good. because their du is only good for DLing of torrents n some LW files. but DSL is better then DU ne day of the week lol. and yes i know accouple of P2P accelerators that have screwed mine & mates PC's. they load to many dll scripts into your system some altering system files.

DSL2 has arrived with my ISP but the limitations of u&d/month is a bit of a turn off. I can swap to dsl2 without any xtra cost but would be faced with a speed but to 72 kbps if I went over the monthly u/p limit. So with due consideration I've decided to wait. But if I swap my local calls over to them & pay an xtra $10/mth then I can get dsl2 with 20 GB limit. But it sounds too risky since I near that already & I'm using just a fraction of the speed.

don't tell me that i only get 12gig DL's lol PS: check me new theme plz lordy
