Well, my posting was a bit agressive too. The reason of this is mainly my experience with bugs in cydoor, which went from bluescreens and lockups all the way up to file system errors and heavy data loss. It wasn´t Limewire, but Imesh, it came with, but I know, Cydoor caused the problems, because they went away after deleting it with adaware.
BTW. The bandwidth Cydoor used, cannot be explained with only downloading banners. It was far beyond that.
So my question to the developers, what reason they have, to believe, what the Cydoor people say, after they had already once lied to them about a program.

The other question (to Gratis and other informed people) was, if TopMoxie or any other advertising method (except banners inside limewire downloaded by limewire, while limewire is running), spyware or maybe system reconfigurations à la "new.net" are known to be bundled with limewire under linux

Btw: I am a happy user of Limewire 1.7 . Great program!
