Limewire (How good is it?)

I decided to wait for sometime and evaluate the Limewire, before I had anything to say about it. It sure is faster than eMule. When I run both together, eMule's download speeds drop drastically... Could it be that LimeWire is using up most of the bandwidth? I am not sure. But so long as it is faster, why should the user care!!

Well, there are a few reasons why I do not like LimeWire.
  • It is not the best place to search for books and softwares. If you are looking only for music and movies, you are probably better of with LimeWire.
  • A lot of your downloads may get suspeneded saying "Need more sources". To me this just says that there are not enough LimeWire users yet. It may get better as the number of users increases.(Waiting time can go into days :( ).
  • The free version will keep asking you to upgrade to Pro every time you start it(Seems like nagware to me).
  • The is a flickering "Support LimeWire" message at the bottom(Can be disturbing).
