its occasionaly dispiriting isn't it the whiney rants of the 'gimmie gimmie' set - limewire is a very good p2p client that just does provide good returns for anyone with a minute quotient of patience - yes the 'requery' message is a pain and long ago should've been replaced with the "you're doomed" message but limewire (along with shareaza I reckon) provides a really good way to progress from someone with no files to share to someone with a store of little treasures to share all over the world -

when I first discovered mp3 files it was back in the days of "mp3filter" which for those of us unable to access napster was a godsend - gradually you learn that good rippers exist (yay audiograbber !!) and that its possible to participate more fully in the p2p community and for my money limewire has always been an 'honourable player' in the educative process (I do so hope the 'skimming' accusations are groundless)

dumping on limewire strikes me as cheap shots at easy targets by the lazy and impatient
