Maybe 10% of ALL users know what is going on...

Why I think Limewire and other "money making" developers arenīt trustable is because they deny all things which are discovered.

Do you remember the Limeshop/Topmoxie story?

http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/3390.cfm

Adam Fisk confirmed that it is true that Topmoxie is redirecting links from other Websites (you can also call it stealing). My trust raised because I thought at least one developer is telling the truth. Now look what happened:

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...e&pagenumber=3

All posts from afisk are deleted! This discussion started in the general Gnutella forum and I moved it over to the Limewire forum because it a LW related thread... a big fault. One of the mighty developer/mods censored this thread. So they know what they are doing (stealing money from other websites) and try to hide it - is this raising your trust?

I can tell long stories about Limewire and much longers about Bearshare and Vincent Falco and their Marketing concepts. You will find many of them here, some are now censored.

To make it short, I donīt trust nobody of this money making clients anymore, this time is over. I only use open source clients which are free of spyware/adware/stealware/crapware and which are free!!! ī

Gnutella is an open "protocol" not open source.
