That means that your assumption of LW being a 'poor' client is rather based on guessing than on real facts.
As for me, I think that the developers from LW made a decent job and I'm thankful for being able to use it. I guess every program has its pros and contras and thanks to the many people here in this forums we have a chance to solve our little problems without big hassle. So, a tone of general appreciation (for which program ever) would be more appropriate than your bashing of LW for the benefize of FW; which matter of factly come from the same smart guys

No my friend, my findings were based on having to do TWO full re-installs on my PowerMac G4 Dual, each time I was getting corruption's and Kernel Panics. Not until I reinstalled for the THIRD time and left off LW did my Mac run properly.
I have since spoken to other Mac users who have had similar problems with LW.
I also understand the LW is to 'throw the towel in' in the near future and no further development is to be done!

I usually DL at 700KB/s the pic below was taken 3 minutes after I started LimeWire. You can browse through my past post and find pics of 800+KB/s

And by the way I currently have 6 P2P programs installed and have used 23 different P2P programs over the years and LimeWire is by far the fastest.

You want fast? Get BearShare. The Lite version is faster than LimeWire Pro.

Not on my machine it is about 15% slower

Then try 5.1.0.b25 That's the best bear of all time. Some of the built-in limits
were cranked up for testing purposes [like 50 streams per download] so it's
effectively unlimited in power. Here's 5.1.0b25 and use the BearStart utility to run it.

What a lot of misinformation about LW on Macs.

Frostwire is LW code; Acquisition (the java part) is LW code; and kernel panics have nothing to do with LW--a user process can't crash the kernel on OS X. LW can only reveal an underlying problem with the system and hardware in the case of a kernel panic.

As for support, see how much support you get for Acquisition if you ask about a core problem, or forget to add a fan-boi comment to your post, or ask who get credit for writing core code.
