LW doesn't need one. Not if it's used wisely. I tried a softw from another network that searches forever almost & was an absolute pain. Yep it would be taxing on the Gnet. And the Gnet programmers are trying to be responsible about the way they design Gnet apps so they don't damage the network. Which would you prefer ... a program that searches endlessly & gets results back very slowly, & the downlds are very slow. Or would you prefer one that gives you quick results & quick downld speeds. Would you prefer to drive a car thru the peak hour traffic of central NY or drive a ferari on a beach or country road. lol
