New Version is Worthless
 

This new version for OSX is worthless. Before I could download about 5% of everything I tried. Now it won't download anything ("unable to download"). Are there any other Mac alternatives? Thanks.

Acquisition is the most elegant program for p2p on OSX (some mention Drumbeat or Myster, but I didn't find them better). I haven't tried Phex or Mutella, and there are probably others.

I rather like the progress I'm seeing in the new LW versions, but I've learned to think 5 % is not bad. I've been able to download files I only saw in occasional searches before. There is still lots to be done (I think I've sent in 3 or 4 crashlogs already), but LW is a project under construction, and is only just starting to implement changes that really affect OSX. Anyway, Acquisition depends on the same core code as Limewire.

You know that the "could not download" just means "search again", right? I force my IP, share more than 100 files, and am ready to disable Ultrapeer if my computer starts acting overloaded.

Cheers--post back which client works best for your set-up.

not bad
 

i've been having a good time with the latest LM, when it's not quiting

You should try Xnap. You won't find as many files as on Gnutella but you'll find lots o' movies and stuff. It's real fast too.

No, it's not, but you can try it anyway.

Try Direct Connect" at www.neo-modus.com

Hi Jack--how well does it work?

Hi Stief,
How u Doing? I use "Direct Connect" for all of my music. I must say that it is better than "Limewire" for downloading music. You can get full albums without having to know all of the songs on a particular album. Still I would not part with "Limewire" as it is the best for downloading programs. Give it a try & see how it works for you.
All the best, Jack.

Hmmm. I don't listen to much music (no pun), but the album idea sounds sensible. Does uploading work differently?

I have dloaded the latest LimeWire (should be renamed loserwire) and I get bupkus.The early limewire 's worked great but I am talking a year ago now.
I use Acquisition and it rocks.I paid for Limewire but Acquisition in its free mode works better than limewire does in its paid mode...Thats just my experience.-rasd1:p
