Stability? Not that I can see
by Mojo Tooth - Apr 7th 2003 14:00:01
I strongly disagree with earlier posts that LimeWire has good stability.
I'm using a stock Redhat 7 install and LimeWire (or perhaps rather the JRE
that LimeWire requires) has hard-crashed my machine twice in the last three
days. I will no longer run this app unattended, and will probably uninstall
it if I can find a decent curses-based client.

Hmm, perhaps you should try not using a distribution that's nearly 3 and a
half years old!!!

Limewire
by doveclaw - Apr 3rd 2003 18:25:37
Like most of the Gnutella clients these days,
Limewire lacks a very large amount of basic
features. To cover up these holes they choose to
implement a host of "flashy" features that, without
a solid platform, become no more then buzzwards.
Upload throttling? Barely, lowest setting on DSL
takes up
half the bandwidth available to the connection and
thats without including network overheard!
Swarming downloads, multiple searches, quality
control, queues.. It doesn't matter without the
freedom to modify the client to your connection
your either going to end up starved of bandwidth
or unsuccessful in your searches. We should all
share, but its not worth it if you can't benefit
yourself. Check out GTK-Gnutella, haven't gone
back since.. supports bandwidth shaping, swarming
downloads, queues, etc, etc..

Trojan horse
by Leo Fellermayr - Jan 16th 2002 07:13:29
Yeah, and since v2, Limewire contains a trojan horse which collects
information about the URLs you have visited with your browser.
I do /not/ think this is a real good idea, so I wont install LimeWire on
my fresh installed systems anymore.
Probably, only the WinSUXX version of Lime is affected by this. Dont
know.
Leo.

Re: Trojan horse
by Adam Fisk - Jun 23rd 2003 15:13:13
Wow. There's a lot of misinformation flying around here. There were about
4 days a year ago where LimeWire and almost every other major file sharing
application (Kazaa, Grokster, BearShare, etc) were all mistakenly including
a desktop shortcut to a program called DLDER.exe that would, in fact,
collect information about users for some small company in the midwest.
This occurred because each of these companies was partnering with Cydoor,
which misled everyone as to the nature of the software. As soon as we
found this out, we removed it, and we have not done any business with
Cydoor for about 8 months. So, we're talking about a 4 day issue from long
ago that was addressed as soon as it was discovered.

Stability vs. Ram-Usage
by Nick - Aug 3rd 2001 09:44:46
This Applications succeeds in stability, and is somewhat speedy. But where
it gains in stability, it lacks in ram-usage.
A reliable, good looking not too slow Gnutella client.
