Default Is there a worse File Sharing Program?

I haven't tried all the P2P File Sharing Programs but, without a doubt, Limewire is the worst.

LOL Why? If it's properly configured you might find otherwise! You mean you don't like it b/c it's not a leech? Is it you don't like sharing or something? You prefer P2M apps (peers to me only)? lol

Yeah, quite a few p2p`s that are bad news,much worse than this.
Ultimately,the worse p2p`s are always the ones with a low userbase.

Y`know what they say, `so many people cant be wrong`, go where the people are.

Personally I love it so far. I've downloaded a ton of files and had no problems.

I was going to try Kazaa but it said there was something on my computer it didn't like and that I'd have to get rid of first when I was downloading. Whatever, so skip that one.

Tried Morpheus..worked fine for one day...then the search function refused to ever work again. Tried reinstall, system restore, virus/spyware sweep..no dice.

So next..Lime Wire..no problems at all, and great success finding and getting what I want. As far as I'm concerned then, the others suck, and Lime Wire is awesome

Default i tell ya every day i hate lime more

You all sit their and say lime wire is so good, not properly configed. or what ever. I am on a cable internet, and can download a 20mb file in no more then 13 min. ONE it takes me almost a week to download a 200mb if i can. One min i am downloading the file the next i am waitting in line, next server is busy. O but yes, the files for you all still keeps working for sum odd reasone. Kazaa has spy ware, well at least with kazaa you could actuly get a file. It never took me this long to get a show on kazaa on a dial up at 24kbs. I have a lot of movies and such that i have downloaded over the years. Guess what I sure wont be shareing them here if this is the way you all are.

m-27 (LW measures transfers in kilobytes, not kilobits.)

Just checked--neighbour installed LW on his XP machine, and with no extra configuration he was really impressed with his download speeds (90 files in about 1 hour). I checked my cable and download speeds look just fine here too:

Of course, all depends on which of the 1,000,000 other users who successfully use LW you connect to.

Sorry to hear that your connection/setup sucks. Hope Kazaa works better for you.

Default yea your right

One sec i get about 45kB, the next sec i get 0kB. The next sec i am waitting in line as always. Left computer on for two days in order to try and download a 220mb file. Two people were able to download 240mb files off me. I on the other hand have maybe 30% downloaded and at this point I am waitting in line again. lol Yea i guess I could go back to kazaa, (pay them and all) but since I paid for lw pro. I figure i will keep trying this thing for a while. Since its not the prog it's the losers on the other end.
