When are you going to supply a donation page. Even though you are not going to have a pro version you will still need $$$ to operate. If you decide to set one up I for one will donate. And I will continue to support LimeWire. I admire what they have tried to do with the development of LimeWire.

This is really making me nervous what will be the status on Bearshare? BL looks like it already went by-by. I still have my old version which I will never part with. I will keep on using my old installs just like I did with Napster until they die. Ive feel like Ive already been through this already.

grandpa, we will consider adding a donation page if it becomes necessary. At the moment, we don't have any web traffic to speak of and we can get free hosting at sf.net and developer.berlios.de

More important than money will be help with creating the website and modifying the LimeWire MessageBundles for FrostWire (the FrostWire sources are currently located at http://developer.berlios.de/projects/limewire )

Sphinx, according to some of the folks at http://www.technutopia.com (the new BearShare forum) BearShare is still somewhat alive. They are still releasing new beta versions although the developers are currently not responsive.

Not responsive to me sounds like bad news ahead.:(

Sgt

wow you have all those installs? I wonder if LW goes bellyup if they'll still connect to Gnutella?

Does not "open sourse" mean that they will still connect? .....I'm not telling you ....I'm wondering if I am correct as I'm not sure.


Sgt welcome back!

open source means many things I don't understand, but at least it means you are allowed to look at the code, line by line. If the source was closed, you are not allowed to see those lines.

As far as LW's open source, you can copy it, change it, and distribute it. Hell--that's what the scammers have been doing.

The gnutella protocol is just a set of rules that allows computers to talk to each other. As long as one computer is running a gnutella client, another computer that knows the rules can connect to it, find out what files are being shared, and ask to download those files.

Heh--sounds so easy: but lw's code is currently about 1 million lines.

and welcome back. good to hear others can get the files they might want.

I'm just a humble user and don't know anything about how to alter code. That's why I asked if it will still allow us to connect without a struggle. Sounds like it still may. Good to hear. so, even if they try to put LW out of business we can still access Gnutella? ;)

HA! - stick it RIAA! :D

So far it looks like y'all are doing a good job at providing those installers. :)
I did a search on "LimeWire 4.9.30" and there was 195 people that had it.

Too bad that they aren't going to allow nonlicenced sharing in later versions...
Well, good luck. :)
