Open Source
 

The good thing of Open Source is that it enables custom versions.
So, a spyware free version of LimeWire is now in this world. It is a good thing and a sad thing. Good as it shows that it IS open source. Sad as it distracts from what is essentially a good thing.

I need a tool like LimeWire, I have a non controversial use for it. I think we can find some money to have something like a peer server. There is however no way in which I can get the community that I do this work for to adopt LimeWire with Spyware AND even with a ripped version I will not get the necessary adoption.

In one of the posts I read that you (LimeWire) would sue the Spy ware company if the software was spyware. I do not understand. Isn't it spyware ? If you want to send adds, use your own channell to send the stuff. Send the same ads for all and, I know it is not spyware. Spyware starts with personal targeted ads. It is personal because they know who I am and, I never told them.

So please make it possible to use your product..

Thanks,

Thanx for the link now I am free !!! hehehehehe

And for the spyware?
 

Does it make the program run even after removing spyware?

Hi Carlo!

As I understand it... yes!

cannot access web page
 

every time i try to open the web page at the top of this page.:confused:

there is CLEAN LIME WIRE without a crack
 

There is the so called clean limewire group that takes the open source and removes the ads. It has it's own installer without spyware.
Unfortunately their website has been down for a while. I have put up a mirror of the only version I have of it. click on the WWW button below.
It is the version 2.2 and you need a JRE installed to run it.

new clean limewire
 

found teh new clean limewire at www.freewirep2p.com

aqualime is sweet too, but hard to install

What is hard about unzipping a .zip file? ;)

I will be looking at getting an easier version out for those not familiar with java.

I don't think that this is clean limewire.
It is just a fork of the limewire open source project. They say they would develop it based on the limewire source - I wonder if they just take the limewire releases and put their red pepper in it or if they actually seperate the development from limewire or if they contribute to the open source limewire....
questions over questions...

Regarding freewire:
from Adam Fisk of LimeWire LLC in an email to me:So, they might be doing something usefull with it. Sounds fishy though.
And my version is just for the hell of it. btw, I've got 2.3.2 converted. But not hosted. I need webspace (who doesn't)

Your AquaLime really kicks it!

It looks superb and the best: I have a modem connection and it gives me 10 connections by default :o)


I like the new limewire look better than the old one.
I'll put it on my webpage for clean limewire clients.... :o)
What's different in 2.3.2?

sweet, new freewire has transfers window and bigger search screen!

aqualime is very purdy :-)
can't you jsut put it on geocities or something ?

Hi people!! Great job on the ad free version. When you think about it, free is not really free if it contains spyware or ads. We all end up paying for that in the end. I just downloaded the source and JDK along with Ant. Being unfamiliar with Java, I can't seem to get the thing to compile or anything. I get errors like "out of environment space" and "bad command or filename" sometimes. The readme makes it sound easy, and I'm sure it is if you already know how to compile Java apps, but since I don't, I could use some help. I will make the results available to all when I get it done, and I plan on adding some nice features too! I will probably join the LimeWire dev project after I get going, but I feel I would not be able to contribute anything yet.

I think that Limewire's interface is far too laggy.
Difficult to explain, but laggy is just the right word for it.
All the menus and buttons feel strange and laggy.
Freewire feels much better without that 'lag'.

I think this is because you, like me, have a not very fast computer. Limewire became far more heavy than before, so the response on old computers can give that "lag" feel.

The new 2.3.3 version is ALOT nicer than the previous version. Yes still laggy even on a p2 450 (that's sad What happened to optimizing your code?) but it's not quite a bad as the last one. The program is alot nicer htough, easier to use and stuff. Are there any clean versions based on 2.3.3 floating around?

Currently I mirror AquaLime and todays sourcecode build.
