The current banner ads actually have no relation to spyware, so the "spyware-free ads" option is what we currently implement. The ads are simply run through an ad engine that does nothing aside from displaying the ads.

This is a separate issue from Gator and TopText, but the ads themselves do not have anything to do with spyware.

Thanks!
Yes, my point is to leave them but to stop adding spyware besides...

Some important information!

After installation of LW you can also find Web3000 on your system, this software is bundled with Gator...
Lw has no relations with Web3000 but with gator, so I think its important to mention that also Web3000 will be installed...

The second important thing is the uninstaller... this one doesn´t uninstall the bundled software... and it was never planed to do so... I think it is important to mention this in a pop up Window or something like this...

Do the Limewire developers want to ad something?

This is no new spyware war thread, this is only an information, but feel free to ad your comments!

Lightbulb Gnutella book

Hi!
Hmm, I thought about other ideas of finance Limewire. How about writing a peer-to-peer book?

"Programming a peer to peer client:
A modern gnutella client"

Full source code and new user guide included on CD.

There you explain how to start with a small and easy 0.4 protocoll client (C++ and Java), then introduce all modern concept (superpeer, swarmed downloads, filehashs, traffic relaying) together with the Limewire sourcecode (Java only). In another section you can describe alternative file sharing systems (like Napster, FastTrack, eDonkey) and how they work (a lot of reverse engeenering has been done allready). In another section you can describe Limewires GUI together with a user documentaion.

While your code is GPLed and Limewire does a lot of research and documentation... it might be a way to earn money and improve user base? This book could become a de-facto-standard among Gnutella programmers with regular updates. You current user base might want to buy this book too.

Just an idea, Moak

I don't think there's that much money in writing yet another p2p-book. Especially since LimeWire is not O'Reilly...

Maybe I do have an idea. Why doesn't LimeWire bundle adware like gator with its software? At least they'd earn more money than by depending on the charity of the LimeWire community...
