Has anyone compiled 1.8 w/out ads?
 

I am really tired of Limewire 1.8's ads. I was wondering if anyone has a website, or has seen a website that has limewire 1.8 without the ads. This houldn't be that hard to do becuase the source is available from limewire.org. I would do it myself but I am not a progremmer and lack the tools and knowledge to do it.

Thank you!

I"ve tried compiling it on Win98 but I cant get ant to compile/install correctly. I'll have to compile in Linux. It'll be a week at the lastest before I can try it though. But if I find out anything more. I'll post something.

That would be great. Xcentrik's post wasn't recompiled from the source, but was just an edited dll to make it so the ads didn't load.

Sorry thats all I could find . Atleast the ad is gone

Thank you for at least trying to help. I'm shure there are a lot of people who have somthing to contribute to this discussion, but are too lazy to post a reply.

I wrote the edited dll, just out of curiousity, what more would u like limewire to (not) do? Ad's are the only thing that annoy me, u can simply not install the spyware when u install it... right?

When you install limewire you get the OPTION to install 2 spyware/adware components. Even if you choose not to install the two, a third one, the one that serves the ads, is still installed. The company, cydoor, that serves the ads has been known to distribute spyware. As far as I can tell your dll only prevents the ads from being displayed and does not prevent the spying. On limewire.org they have the source code for limewire w/out the ads. I was wondering if anyone has compiled this source code. If I had the knowledge I would do it , but unfortunately the only languages I know are Q-BASIC and TI-BASIC. Basically my goal is to get a fully functioning version of limewire w/out Cydoor.

If everyone is tired of banner ads and spyware then Y not go back to version 1.7 I saw a link in here for it and I got 1.6 on c.d I still like that 10 times better. Just a thought guys
