YES!! haha, I'm not the only one who hates the new LimeWire then? I dont feel so alone anymore...

The New lime sucks big time, and it's not because of operating systems or not knowing how to use it either.

I'm sick of all the spam and rubbish that comes up when i try to look for the simplest things.

Check some advice here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/345936-post2.html

It's not anything to do specifically with LW or any other Gnutella Network client.
No, I am not defending LW- You'll never catch me doing anything that is so socially irresponsible!

The garbage is part of the current system which is continuously under attack from mercenaries working for industries, governments and 'special interest groups'-
Plus idiots and fools- meaning 'us' because 'we' are the network.
PLUS any member of the Gnutella Network community who allows incomplete download sharing.

If you haven't first tested a file then you should never share it.
Shame on all developers who continue to use default settings on install that include 'Partial File Sharing'. (Or, worse, even require it!)
They are after 'efficiency' at the eventual cost of the network.

We are in a different world now and no file should ever be offered for sharing that has not been first completely tested.

The garbage is, ultimately, our fault if we do not self-police our own network.
This means that BITZI also cannot benefit us if we do not make the effort to 'feed' BITZI when we encounter a rogue file.
The survival of Gnutella Network is our responsibility and depends on no one else.

btw- Try a search using only your own name spelled backwards.
Make a note of the file sizes and types!
Avoid all similar files.


Speaking of spam, Gretsky09 sure does have a pong about him!
Nice sig

you could have chosen to report that post you know....

I don't like the new Limewire because it called me " A leaf connected to 25 peers and 18 leafs" Couldn't I at least have been a larch?

The best fix: Downgrading to LimeWire 4 from 5 & resuming incomplete downloads

A leaf is the normal word for anybody connected to an ultrapeer. LW Basic connects to 3 ultrapeers, Pro connects to 5. Each of those connectors are called leafs. BTW sounds like you are connected as an ultrapeer yourself with so many connections. There are advantages being an ultrapeer which includes being able to download from more hosts per file.

That's what I thought too...thus my outrage

Nothing to complain about ... though ... I'd have thought you should be called an ultrapeer. No matter .. still connecting as an ultrapeer so get better results.

Although the connections window or at top of interface might say leaf .. but it 'may' say ultrapeer in the advanced window under tools menu. I'm not sure because I usually choose not to become an ultrapeer.
