Thanks sberlin, for taking the time to clean up the old Classic version.
For nostalgia's sake, I ran both the regular and the Pro for a while
here are just a few quick notes:
Despite Downloads.com reporting it as 4.0.8, it really is 4.0.9. The Pro version is 4.0.9 too.
--FWIW, Classic locks up when trying to change the port (I had to edit the limewire.props file to add the line "PORT=xxxxx", which worked).
--Command -Q resulted in a type 3 error, but the File menu "Close" item worked properly.
--Ethernet uploads triggered a few bug reports. Perhaps options should probably be set now to "Always Discard Bugs" as the default
--If Classic is disallowed from operating as an Ultrapeer, trimming that code might save some download size too.
--uploads and swarming sucked. Popular files barely swarmed at all in comparison to OS X
Even though the Classic Finder truncated long names with stuff like #IDxxx for completed downloads, the proper names showed in the Library and uploaded to an OS X machine with the full filenames.
--searches and downloads were as quick (the quicker gui made them seem even better than OS X)
cheers. Thanks--that was fun working in OS 9 again, but the quicker gui makes java on OS X seem really sluggish now.
