WRONG.
Morgwen is in no way a 'Gnutella Purist'.

NO ONE is suggesting what you allude to above.
What people ARE telling you is that it is not correct in any manner to make these continuous 'comparisons' with anything other than 'like with like'.
Morgwen's comments to you in his recent posts have been completely correct.

This is not meant to be taken as being insulting to you, but one of the very clear ways of determining the true level of experience of someone vis a vis computers is to determine just exactly how well they understand THE FUNDAMENTAL REALITY TODAY that, for practical purposes on this planet, NO TWO COMPUTERS ARE THE SAME (regardless of how similar said machines may appear to be from a view of their specifications or installed software or marketing hype.) Whether PC or Mac, computers today remain primitive devices with still NO complete commonality. The 'image' which is promoted by the manufacturers of hardware and software that states or implies that these machines are 'wonders' capable of actually doing what is 'shown' in an advertising campaign is believed by the majority of the population... Believed ? Hey, almost worshipped by many !
The reality is that they are all still temperamental little monsters that only function in a most crude way, especially when it comes to issues of commonality in regards to any usage involving communications with the 'outside world'.
Hence the high 'probability' that 'some adjustments' may 'possibly' be required and that 'fundamental maintenance', (defragmentation of drives, etc., etc.) cannot be ignored.

Your 'browser' crapped out on you a short time ago... I'll bet the dudes that made that for you REALLY said it was all easy, hmmm ?
In order to use the internet with 'acceptable performance' it is necessary to have a fairly comprehensive understanding of the workings of the internet - Contrary to ALL nonsense promoted by the computer industry, practically NOTHING WORKS PROPERLY 'STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX'.
You must try to understand that it is absurd to continue this nonsense of comparing performance of p2p clients while limiting yourself to only references to dissimilar networks.
This thread is approaching a state of "Must Move To The General Discussion Forums"...
NOT because it is 'unfriendly' to LimeWire, but because it is (through your good efforts)
losing any connection with having anything to do with LimeWire.
