If all LimeWire users downloaded the images from limewire.com, LimeWire Inc. would definitely go out of business. Do you know how much bandwidth that would consume? I'll show you....

8 images roughly 50,000 bytes (50KB) each. This is minimum but I believe they're bigger than that.

8 * 50,000 = 400,000 (400KB almost half a megabyte)

If you ever studied the host count at limewire.com you can tell at least ~20,000 hosts sign-on through out the day.

400,000 * 20,000 = 8,000,000,000 (8 Gigabytes)


That would mean 8 gigs of data would transfer from limewire.com daily and bandwidth is not free. They are already paying for router.limewire.com whichs gets a lot of gnutella traffic constantly from all types of clients.

I mean shutup about the ads already just pay your 6 dollars and be happy. Give something back to the community....

anti-bearshare!

Router.limewire.com is ONLY used by Limewire now! And Limewire is now $8.50!

Just my two cents!

The main reason that we didn't write an ad engine ourselves is that we would rather spend our time coding LimeWire. There are the server load issues and everything as well, but it's also just a whole separate piece of code to maintain, especially when you get into detailed reporting to advertisers.

Cydoor has all of this set up, and they also have established relationships with advertisers. Advertising is their full-time job, whereas we prefer not to deal with this stuff.

So, that's the story. We were also never claiming that Cydoor did not keep track of its views/click throughs, etc. There would be absolutely no way for Cydoor to sell advertising if that were the case. It does detailed reporting, again, just like the banner at the top of this page does detailed reporting.

Wich banner ? I block it ...

You're blocking our banners?

tweak xp blocks the banners on the fourm.

I use the Proxomitron .
it's a proxy that uses a text matching engine .
If you can write it in HTML or JAVA , it can filter it .

*OK* so limewire is gpled.... but hey you know what? 8.50 is *not* a lot to pay for such a great product. not only is limewire the leading developer of the gnutella network.. they have diligently and continuously updated their product.. limewire has improved immensely in reliability since the 1.X days... i download sooo much stuff .. and u know what? 8.50 is NOT a lot of money folks.... thats what? two value meals at taco bell? .. quit being so cheap people honestly.. they could charge 30+ $'s.... I Paid for limewire pro and i have no complaints

I would like to buy limewire and pay for it once and then to get further upgrades free like they do now.
