You are really welcome to try morpheus - I binned it in favour of LimeWire. Morpheus Preview Edition is really very, very bad. The new version of morpheus has been 'Coming in two weeks' for over two months now.

My LimeWire subscription lasts for 6 months. I have no idea where you got the impression that you'd be charged for each upgrade.

As for T3s - Believe it or not, you aren't the only person downloading on the gnutella network. In the last 2 hours there have been 20,000 attempts to download from my computer. I'm only a lowly DSL connection and only around a dozen people can download from me at a time. There are a lot of people trying to access those T3 connections. Each person is only going to get a little piece of the total bandwidth.

I do agree that it would be helpful if people didn't share partial downloads.

But I find it really annoying when people rename files so that LimeWire cannot swarm (download from multiple locations at the same time). Nor does adding 'complete' to the filename help because the next dweeb who downloads half the file and shares it will now have a file claiming to be complete - which isn't.

You can generally spot incomplete files by size - there will usually be a file of the same name, but bigger.
