Accelerator with Kazaa worked just fine & THAT is not what killed Kazaa. Adware & spyware killed Kazaa & Grokster. I used both & enjoyed them as well as Bearshare, Aimster, Fileshare & Napster. In all cases, except Napster was an accelerator necessary. All this talk of crashing the network----what is the network if not us. How could we overload the millions of computers and the power of those computers if we are not centralized? I enjoy LimeWire for now but as a realist know there is another program down the pike. Accerator?? It's coming.
