I also have to keep deleting those morpheous clients out of the connections section or searching is even worse. I bought limewire and I like the interface and such. Other firends of mine that use limeware has also noted the lack files/searches. I really think the older versions of limeware are better. Also I don't think limeware can compare to WinMX. http://www.winmx.com and if you disagree with me and you havent tried winmx you should. Its free and contains no spyware vrap in it. Its way more advanced then limewire and returns thousands of searches to the few hunded I get with limewire. Instead of working on a skinning system for limewire which is currently in CVS I would work on getting better searches out of it.
While I am a fan of Limewire I must agree that the results are disappointing... I do believe Limewire is more stable that ever and I feel the search results issue overall is not a Limewire problem, rather a Gnutella problem... I have found Shareaza to be the best Gnutella client thus far as it is rich with features (such as ignoring Morpheus) and strikes me as the most versitile and robust client for Gnutella... I am installing WinMX as I type this and hope to run it through it's paces for the next few days.
