....and, tough shi t if you do not like it, but---- a little history lesson from me, a junior member of the Gnutella Network Community...
First comment -
EXPERIENCED members of the p2p community KNOW that judgements are NOT made in hours, days or weeks...!
It takes a great deal of time, patience and DISCIPLINE to understand the various processes and REALITIES of ANY 'general' -
NON-CENTRAL-SERVER p2p system !!!
Years, not days or weeks, OK ?
TOUGH for you if not OK.
(Do not misunderstand me, please... I am known for being rather 'understanding' of those who are either 'new/ignorant' and trying to help with their problems... SO IS SBERLIN !!!!!
And several 100's of others here and on other p2p-based forums !)
I will be very straight with you... (and, tangentially, with a few others)- I do not run LimeWire for specific reasons related to Java apps... NO BIG DEAL and certainly no reason for others to not use LimeWire...
I, along with
Peerless and numerous others, either use only one other Gnutella Network client, or use other p2p 'systems'.
This does NOT suggest a denigration of LimeWire or any other Gnutella Network client.
You (and the vast multitudes of others) seem to be stricken with a common 'ailment'... "MY machine is perfect!" and ALL problems MUST be related to a 'p2p' client !
This is a manifestation of the rectal output of the masculine of the bovine ilk !
99% sure, you... YOU have something(s) WRONG in YOUR configurations OR installations. -----
OR
YOU are trying to do far too much with a limited system....
PCs are NOT LIKE WHAT DAT WHAT IS SHOWN IN THE MOVIES.... !!!
Your initial post includes ZERO info as to your setup or experiential reality...
What ya want ?
If you care to become a beneficial member of the Gnutella Network and the p2p community in general, than you MUST play your part and give real info re: your current problems and computer set-ups---
Geddit ?
Please reply --- The thing is --- Every 'good' member of the Gnutella Network is better for all of us !!!
And, better for
YOU
p.s. And me.
cuz. Gnutella Network is
US
p.p.s.
I have spent years, with my lawyers and others, in pursuit of trying to get SBERLIN to legally adopt me... (Cuz I thought he was so rich, right ?........ Well, he, and the other loonies 'behind' LimeWire are not about to start renting the boathouse of Bill -Cho Cho - Gates...) ((¡ Chocho is a delightful word in Spanish ! ))
I cannot express how disappointed I am, as I had hoped to be disgustingly rich and now I can only depend on the life-time support of
Lord of the Rings.
Of course, I am not loathe to publick contributions, but I must share all tithes with KathW... Well, at least 10%, huh ?
