R.I.P Limewire
 
http://www.climbthenet.com/limewire-...urt-ruling/388

Time to move onto "frostwire"

flagella 10-27-2010 10:15 AM

I think a lot of ppl moved onto Frostwire a long time ago, due to Limewire being filled with virus.

bengy 10-27-2010 10:21 AM

Using anything but torrent or newsgroups is major fail. Limewire and the like are just havens for viruses and malware.

Guess someone's gotta keep the GeekSquad in business though :D

i remember downloading the limewire pro crack on limewire :)

LiquidTurbo 10-27-2010 11:12 AM

Limewire. I remember those days.


So what does the future hold for torrent sites ?

Torrents will always be superior to programs such as lime wire due to community.

I've been using limewire for many years and have never got a virus from it. Be smart and don't download fake songs that are 500kb and make sure they have bitrates on them (ei. 128kbps,192kbps,256kbps)

Haven't used Limewire in over fire years. I'll stay with my Bittorrent thank you.

woob 10-27-2010 02:26 PM

not missed. It had no control over quality rips, it was transcode heaven, it had lots of malware.

!LittleDragon 10-27-2010 02:31 PM

Limewire was great for single songs if you don't want the rest of the album.

woob 10-27-2010 02:49 PM

You can choose individual songs to download even if a torrent contains an entire album.

essel 10-27-2010 02:52 PM

Haven't used LimeWire in ages. For individual songs I just google "song name" and add "zshare" or "zippyshare" at the end.

Um, no. Rapidshare, et al?

ae101 10-27-2010 05:33 PM

maybe cuz im chinese but i used foxy 99.9% of the time & i never download limewire before

jpark 10-27-2010 06:06 PM

i still use limewire lol

murd0c 10-27-2010 06:07 PM

once I found about Frostwire I deleted Limewire right away. Still nothing will ever beat Napster, man I wish I still had all the songs from back in the day :(

tgill 10-27-2010 06:11 PM

Frostwire, Limewire, whatever; low quality music sucks.

jpark 10-27-2010 06:12 PM

^i dunno... i usually downloaded the song that had a slightly bigger MB than other songs and it was always great quality than the other lower MB songs

twitchyzero 10-27-2010 06:49 PM

does anyone know how to avoid songs that will end up being "more souces needed"? Half of the time I press look for more resources it never finds any. I'm on frostwire and it's alright for single songs.

Euro7r 10-27-2010 06:58 PM

Damn FUUUU. Limewire was awesome.

:facepalm: I'm talking about the legal implications.

Newsgroups above all. No elitist attitudes commonly attributed with private FTPs, IRC channels, torrent sites, message boards, etc. Just sign up with a news provider, go on nzbs.org/newzbin/nzbmatrix, and download. If you're on Shaw, you can skip the first step, since they provide 30 days retention with their news service.

Best of all, you don't have to share anything. No stupid quotas to fill. Even better, it's very nature makes it very hard to shutdown.
