Spam is minor to connection issues? That's very odd, I connect just fine, always do. And I haven't downloaded an authentic NON-spam, NON-bogus file from Limewire in months.

I've already found superior networks. They are slower, but hey at least I don't get spammed or nuked by virus attacks. Why would you even defend LW? Are you staff? And if so are you blind to what's going on?

It's no secret that LW came bundled with spyware to promote itself for years. I've repaired many a computer from this. It's just another way to profit from spam by distributing it to users on their own network. I'm not the inventor of this conclusion, just one of the masses who agree.

Seriously, give just one legitimate reason for NOT re-instituting a size filter. The vast majority of users are obviously connecting just fine by the boards here. Need I link the hundreds of repetitive chains and posts all complaining about this issue?

It's hollow rhetoric like yours that just reinforce what we have all come to accept.

Seriously, give up the spam road LW. Didn't you learn anything from a few years back? Institute a size filter, allow unanimous file and user blocking. That will significantly reduce your "connection" issues as the OC3 servers spamming us off your network will be rendered useless. Or would that just negate your investment? Hmm?

LW is larger than a handful of programmers and shifty spammers. It's part of a nation of millions and we are fed up with the betrayal. I used to love it and be a proponent, but apathetic truth dodgers and yes men like yourself have helped propogate the spam. You're calling my messages spam? That's absurd. I've no Ipod to give you, unlike the entire Gnutella network at this point. I have nothing to gain by writing this other than access to file sharing like it used to be and it isn't just for myself. It's for the millions of users out there who wish to have freedom to share files with each other and for people who would be more than glad to pay for a spam free, virus free network that deserves it.

If only LW would just come clean, own up to it's mistakes instead of putting puppet responses on every post to propagate their spam/virus infested network. Yes, posts like yours support viruses and spam directly as they take no responsibility for this dilema. It's an obvious blight to us users. We are of course grateful for all the programmers hard work, but it's high time they started thinking outside the box a little bit and open their eyes. I hope one of the greedy diaphoretic executives reads this and makes change.

In this day and age, people WILL BUY limewire with the features requested implemented. It's win-win. Stop clinging to lose-lose. No one wants spam and LW will never profit from it in the long run.
