Limewire has been shut down

[Revolution [9]]

About time. I used LimeWire once, and almost every search result ended up with pr0nz - and lots of it. It was also significantly slower than just downloading a file off the Internet.

I used LimeWire back in 2002, and now I can't find a single reason to use this crapware. If you want music, just bittorrent, or figure it out. LimeWire is like MySpace, nobody uses it anymore, and for good reason.

 

[mysticwaterfall]

Not really shedding a tear here. LimeWire was horribly designed in well, pretty much all aspects.

People still use Limewire?

only for sampling music ie. downloading a single and listening to it (why isn't there an option to search for albums?!?!?!), also sometimes for small videos

The real thing you need is called "discography" why bother with one album.... lol

Yes, you want to download a whole discography with no idea on what the quality of the files is gonna be.


Also, limewire is for beginners. Yes, I went through that phase.

Just add "FLAC" and "CD Rips" or if you really want the good stuff, "Studio Rip" but be warned the studio rips will be significantly larger file sizes then most people are used too

I'll just put this here

yea this is a blessing, limewire isn't even safe. that broke down someones computer, u get shut down then hahahahahahahahah f u all day limewire, karma is a sonuvabitch! they had lawyers on their asses while viruses got someone i know ofs. but u know which ones more sour? limewire ahu ahuh hahahahahhahahahahahaha

 

[godreborn]

I could understand if this program was clean and useful, but for a program that supplies little other then viruses and child porn i'm glad that they have been shut down. limewire is nothing more then a virus factory and a child porn hub. good riddance to bad rubbish!

PS>I'd just like to mention that i'm usually the first person to fight for a free internet, but this particular piece of programing does little for the free internet movement. I'm tired of my friends bringing me computers to fix after getting viruses from limewire and the amount of child porn found using there program is just disgusting. if you simply type porn into there search field many child porn files will appear. i'm glad i've never installed it on any of my pc's. i believe in fighting the good fight, but this is not it. the internet should be free, but viruses and child porn should still be weeded out.
PSS. Hey limewire. go fuck yourself!

is frostwire any good??

 

[bnwchbammer]

There are pleeeeeenty of sites out there that offer a better alternative to limewire. I stopped using it the instant I found out about uTorrent and sites to download torrents from. Now that I can't use torrents I've reverted to better sites that link to rapidshare etc. I also fix people's computers and it seems the ones that can't figure out how to do simple tasks have limewire installed on their computers.

P2P is for retards that don't know how to use torrents.

EDIT: I meant Gnutella clients

 

[Hyro-Sama]

From what I am reading, there is a hate on for Frostwire as well. WTF? It's not that bad. Better than Limeshit. Seriously. MP3 rocket is always an alternative, though.

 

[alo123]

I don't get why everyone hates limewire I have been using it for a long time and never had
one virus

 

[smash_brew]

private torrents sites are the way to go. They are free and trustworthy. and most of the time faster then said program.

 

[juggernaut911]

People still used it?

 

[nutella]

P2P is for retards that don't know how to use torrents.
