same here, i just need it for limewire now

Looking for Limewire alternatives? Try either of these:

Frostwire - http://frostwire.com

Cabos - http://cabos.sourceforge.jp

Glad to see the dudes at uTorrent got the kinks out of Unicode. Blazingly fast progress on their part.

I honestly don't see any reason why any Windows user shouldn't be using utorrent for their torrent needs. Not one single client compares.

Seriously.

No i prefer limewire over both these,as these both use java also. What i'm after is a limewire clone which is lite and doesn't use java, and uses the gnutella network. Don't think one exists, maybe ?torrent should make this, ?download:shiftyninja:a:

So I guess it's a Java-less Gnutella client with a Limewire-like interface you're after. Good luck. I'd recommend Gnucleus if you just want a lite Gnutella client. Just dump Limewire period, you're stuck with using old versions since the new versions filter out "illegal" content.

I top out at around 92 KB/s, the same speeds I got with BitComet. Honestly I don't see myself making another switch. I used Azureus up until a year ago when I switched to BitComet. Azureus was too much off a behemouth for my tastes. It's not like I'm running a relic, but if I can get comparable or superior performance with a smaller footprint I'm going for it. BitComet seemed like a good choice but I still saw it topping out at ~30 MB of memory usage. That became unacceptable to me when I saw uTorrent in October. I tried it, and slapped myself for not making the switch earlier.

So all you guys are experiencing faster/same speeds as BitTornado, Azureus etc?

Utorrent is the same in speed. The only problem is that it takes a bit of time to climb up to faster speeds because it connects to peers slower than other clients, to reduce CPU usage.

In this version, I think they adjusted the peers connection so it should be the same as Azureus.

      I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.
