IM RUNNING MAC OS 10.1.5, AND I HAVE HAD LIMEWIRE FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW, AND IM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH. AND I WANNA KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER PEER 2 PEER PROGRAMS FOR MAC OS 10.1.5 OUT THERE BESIDES AQUISITON, AND XNAP.
I DOWNLOADED XNAP BEFORE BUT FOR SUM REASON STUFFIT WOULDN'T EXPAND THE TAR.GZ. FILE(ANY1 KNOW Y?)
SO IF ANY CULD GIVE ME ANY REQUESTS OR ANYTHING I WULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT, BECUASE LW GETS ON MY NERVES WHEN I TRY TO DOWNLOAD SUMTIN AND THAT "COULD NOT DOWNLOAD AWAITING SOURCES" CRAP COMES UP.

I don't think there are a lot of apps for Mac out there that are better than LW except Xnap and Aquisition. There is an app called bittorrent (bitconjurer.org) which is really good. It's not really like other p2p's because you need links to download stuff. These links can be found a lot of places on the net but suprnova.org is the best place to find 'em. BitTorrent is extremely good for getting TV episodes and movies, but if you want music, then that is definetly not what you are looking for. If you have or are going to get Virtual PC, you can use Kazaa Lite etc.

Hello!

Another alternative for Mac OSX users are also Direct Connect most famous for the fact that it is the best network to get movies and extremely large files downloaded. You can get it here:

However I dont think that you should give up on LimeWire and Gnutella just yeat.

The Could Not Download Awaiting Sources message is not really a big problem. In previous versions of LW you would just get into Requery Sent status when a connection to a host you where downloading from got dropped. In 2.9X versions Requeries are no longer sent and you will get the new message instead. The solution to it is to first highlight the file and click the Kill Download button. This will temporarily delete the file from the download list but dont worrie it will come back just look after the file in the search result list and double click it again and once again the same file will appear in the download area and a new connection attempt will be made. If unsuccessfull you have to search for new sources for the file just use the exact seame search term as the filename and if the file is found from another source LW will attempt to connect to them instead and get it from there instead. If succesfull the file will get downloaded. You might sometimes have to perform the above described procedure multiple times during a download specially for large files but eventually you will get the file. Downloads on Gnutella simply have to get babysitted and attended!.

HEY THX ALOT THE DIRECT CONNECT IS GREAT!
I DOWNLOADED THE BITTORENT BUT THE WEBPAGE SUPRNOVA EVERY TIME I CLICK ON SUMTIN NOTHING HAPPENDS, MY BROWSER JUS TRYS TO KEEP LOADING THE PAGE. ARE THERE ANY OTHER SITES THAT U CAN GET LINKS 4 BITTORENT FROM, THAT WORK?

For what it's worth, my experience with Neo-Modus is not so good. When it works, you do get a steady upload/download streams but, in comparison with the PC equivalent, D++, Direct Connection is inefficient in making connection with other hosts. What compounds my problems is that there are no forums on which to get advice from the few other Mac users who are probably out there. And, so far, my e-mails to Neo-Modus asking very politely for help, have been ignored. So, as Joakim says, you might consider giving Direction Connection a try, but be prepared for just as much frustration as with Limewire.

http://www.torrentlinks.com/
http://www.bittorrentsites.co.nr/
http://smiler.no-ip.org/BT/BTlinks.php

These are some other BitTorrent sites. They also provide links to a lot of other Bittorrent sites.

I DOWNLOADED SOME LINKS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WHEN I TRY TO OPEN THEM WITH BITORRENT, THE APP QUITS UNEXPECTIVELY ALL THE TIME. DO U HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT MIGHT B CAUSING THIS PROBLEM?
THX IN ADVANCE

Damn, is that happening to you to? I thought it was just my stupid OS cause it unexpectedly quits mac help and stuff. It is really annoying so I think i'll e-mail the creator of the OS X version.

HEY IF U FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR SUMTIN COULD YOU INFORM ON HOW TO FIX IT. THX
