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.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
