Limewire has been shut down

pitman · Oct 28, 2010

Since Bittorrent was introduced, I never touched anything like LimeWire/Kazaa and the like.
These things were full of sick porn/viruses posing as regular files with know way to know if its genuine or not. Good riddance.

Someone's going to have to edit this now...

Never used it, because with Limewire, you're never going to get anything but viruses, as many others have mentioned.

my limewire still works. I am using an older version.

SamAsh07 · Oct 28, 2010

Lol, I used to use this program long back. No problem its gone...

Never used limewire, never plan to, Bittorent and that swedish torrent site is all I need.

Ah well, last time I tried to use it, I couldn't even FIND music.

Which version?

...People still used Limewire?

just make copyright infringement a capital offense that should cause at least a couple percent reduction in piracy

On the other hand, software that’s similar to LimeWire might be affected negatively by today’s judgment. In the injunction software such as FrostWire and MP3Rocket, but also BitTorrent clients including uTorrent, Vuze and Transmission are described as “similar software”. Could one of these become the next target?

Just stating my opinion, but since FrostWire is the closest alternative(GUI and all) I think that FrostWire may be the next target.

Besides, LimeWire was shit compared to FrostWire because of all the viruses and half the time you couldn't even find the music you were searching for because viruses and porn would take up the entire search >_>

Limewire and Frostware connect to the same network, thus the files available on them are the same. Frostwire is a FORK of limewire, using the same base code even.

Well the more you know xD

Aside from that, then I would say FrostWire will be the next victim(possibly) since it's basically the same piece of work, but who knows...
Sorry if I'm misinterpreting what you're saying, Rydian!

Thank god. LimeWire was the worst POS I have ever used. I used it for like a week before moving on to better things (many years ago).

Yeah, no shit? 0/10
I got porn and music videos.

TheDarkSeed · Oct 29, 2010

There are still some songs on there but I definitely see the results dwindling. Limewire got rimmed hard.

one virus

You mean you never got a virus that you know about lol

It's called "using an anti-virus program that doesn't suck".

Any modern antivirus will automatically scan every file created on your computer, so if there's an infection in one it'll alert you before it can do anything.

i always use Mp3 Rocket, but unfortunately it slows my computer....drastically i use it once every blue moon
