Is there a worse File Sharing Program?
 

I haven't tried all the P2P File Sharing Programs but, without a doubt, Limewire is the worst.

LOL Why? If it's properly configured you might find otherwise! :confused: :D You mean you don't like it b/c it's not a leech? Is it you don't like sharing or something? You prefer P2M apps (peers to me only)? lol

Again, an objective post.

In the dark we make a brighter light

there are a lot of worse file sharing programs:

Just try Zultrax http://www.zultrax.com/ !

Yeah, quite a few p2p`s that are bad news,much worse than this.
Ultimately,the worse p2p`s are always the ones with a low userbase.

Y`know what they say, `so many people cant be wrong`, go where the people are.

Personally I love it so far. I've downloaded a ton of files and had no problems.

I was going to try Kazaa but it said there was something on my computer it didn't like and that I'd have to get rid of first when I was downloading. Whatever, so skip that one.

Tried Morpheus..worked fine for one day...then the search function refused to ever work again. Tried reinstall, system restore, virus/spyware sweep..no dice.

So next..Lime Wire..no problems at all, and great success finding and getting what I want. As far as I'm concerned then, the others suck, and Lime Wire is awesome :)

i tell ya every day i hate lime more
 

You all sit their and say lime wire is so good, not properly configed. or what ever. I am on a cable internet, and can download a 20mb file in no more then 13 min. ONE it takes me almost a week to download a 200mb if i can. One min i am downloading the file the next i am waitting in line, next server is busy. O but yes, the files for you all still keeps working for sum odd reasone. Kazaa has spy ware, well at least with kazaa you could actuly get a file. It never took me this long to get a show on kazaa on a dial up at 24kbs. I have a lot of movies and such that i have downloaded over the years. Guess what I sure wont be shareing them here if this is the way you all are.

m-27 (LW measures transfers in kilobytes, not kilobits.)

Just checked--neighbour installed LW on his XP machine, and with no extra configuration he was really impressed with his download speeds (90 files in about 1 hour). I checked my cable and download speeds look just fine here too:

Of course, all depends on which of the 1,000,000 other users who successfully use LW you connect to.

Sorry to hear that your connection/setup sucks. Hope Kazaa works better for you.

yea your right
 

One sec i get about 45kB, the next sec i get 0kB. The next sec i am waitting in line as always. Left computer on for two days in order to try and download a 220mb file. Two people were able to download 240mb files off me. I on the other hand have maybe 30% downloaded and at this point I am waitting in line again. lol Yea i guess I could go back to kazaa, (pay them and all) but since I paid for lw pro. I figure i will keep trying this thing for a while. Since its not the prog it's the losers on the other end.

something odd
 

I have updated my java prog, since then been getting a little better download speeds for a few seconds once in a while. (525kB) but still getting download one sec next i am waitting in line. lol I guess i should just turn off my uploads and be like everyone else.

turning off uploads shouldn't make much difference. We used to throttle uploads to 85% of upload bandwidth, but I don't know if that's really necessary any more with the newer LW's.

Really--if you want to test your downloads, try the free and legitimate files from www.magnetmix.com

better yet, see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=27036

lol
 

Yep called cable comp, I have 128kb upload speed, and 1mb download speed. So I shouldnt be getting 2kB download speed off of another persone that is listed as cable persone too. I love like i said before, one min i am able to download off someone and the next im waitting in line, or waitting on a busy host.

Limewire the worst???
 

Limewire the worst? Dont think so!

I think limewire easily beats Kazaa and the rest, its easier to use, looks better, runs smoother AND is MUCH faster!
:D

But agreeing with many other posts on here, u gotta make sure its properly configured!

yep so true love lw
 

i do love lime wire best but wish people would share their files, instead of showing them but not letting anyone download them. I have over 500 files listed and avalible. but when i try to download i still get good for a bit, then it will say need more sorces, do a new search and they are still listed in the search, making me think they are still on line just not shareing i could be wrong.

its a great program. i tried kazaa and didnt like all those extra programs they installed. this is by far the best ive seen

Limewire is By Far the best p2p program available! Anyone who uses Kazaa or Morpheus has no idea about the crap they put on your computer. Aside from selling your information to anyone on the internet...that's a whole different topic! Something like 70% of the files that come from users of K&M are laden with viruses and corrupt.

The key to using Limewire succesfully, is to know 'which' files to download. Some people search for a song, one comes up and they don't bother to look at the size, or type of file it is. Boom, virus, corrupt! A song will never be any less 3Mb (unless it's a shorty).
So when you download a song, look at the size and file type. If it says 134K, don't download it!! Period!

As far as 'speeds', it's all your connection or the other guys...has Nothing to do with this software! Period!
