aqualime here!!! no ads or spyware!
 

sorry, above links are gone now, ...keep looking for new releases though!

AquaLime makes using "LimeWire" a fresh experience again. No ads, no spyware, and many of the problems have been fixed. It is a nice alternative to using the "official" LimeWire platform. And best of all its free.

You can usually download all "modified" adfree clients on
www.unitethecows.com

enjoy!

Aqualime has made me a Gnutella happy camper!

i was a beginner with limewire 1.4 and i learned to appreaciate it a lot! but then i got wiser, (thanks to these forums) and i was tired of being a 'beta' tester (there were tons of problems back then) and i learned about the new spyware problems which limewire at first flatly denied, and now i have moved on.... with the more frequent occurrences of ads and spyware there have been many new programs which use the gnutella network that dont have any spyware and such.
i am now currently using aqualime which works great! it is the retro version which looks like the old 1.4 limewire. it uses ultrapeers too. look around at www.unitethecows.com or www.zeropaid.com for this. also look for a beta version of xolox which is gnutella. i have just downloaded the new version of gnucleus which is susposed to be free of ads and spyware and uses ultrapeers but i haven tried it yet...here is their site:
http://www.gnucleus.com/
also, i am using winmx- the new beta which runs on 'opennap' source code. this too is ad free and spyware free. winmx for me on a dialup is 'the' fastest and most reliable i have found. get it here at www.winmx.com

basically, to the developers at limewire... people dont want ads or spyware and they dont want to pay for that privilage either. as long as there is open source there will be people who will release adfree and spywarefree versions of popular gnutella programs. in my opinion, you would do better to get back on the bandwagon or face internet oblivion.

I agree totally about WinMX. WinMX rules. The latest Gnucleus (1.7.9.1) is compatible with LimeWire ultrapeers. Download 1.7.5.0 and use the auto evolve feature. Never liked Xolox.

Anyway, I don't think LimeWire will face internet oblivion if they continue to include adware. They will continue to make a living, which will enable them to continue devoting loads of time to improving the gNet experience. Sure some people hate adware (including me of course), but as was mentioned in this thread, the source is open, so for those people there are alternatives.

I think opening their code was gutsy on their part (notice Vinny doesn't do it). It will hopefully speed innovation, and allow us ad-haters to do without. I honestly hope AquaLime doesn't get too big. I would hate to hinder LimeWire's development. At the same time, I'm glad it's there to provide an alternative to annoying ads.

(I avoided the term spyware, 'cause it's just too overused. I'm just sick of hearing it. It's like calling it Bogeymanware or Commieware :P Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with anything done by the likes of gator, toptext and all the rest of the rogues)

thanks otaro! by the way, thankyou thankyou thankyou for aqualime! it is working great on my p3650 with win98se. my utmost respect goes out to you!

take care, unregistered, hehe
