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.

    • Governments are ruining the internet to protect kids but there is a much better way

      By WaltC · Posted

      From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By Case_f · Posted

      BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
    • Nvidia GeForce NOW to support 18 more games in June, including Gothic 1 Remake

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Nvidia GeForce NOW to support 18 more games in June, including Gothic 1 Remake by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The start of a new month means Nvidia is also preparing a whole month of additions to its GeForce NOW supported games list. The cloud gaming platform received its first update of June today, revealing games like Jurassic World Evolution 3 and Gothic 1 Remake for the service, while at the same time revealing what's incoming in the next few weeks too. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Jurassic World Evolution 3 (New release on Xbox, available on Game Pass) Fatekeeper (New release on Steam, available June 2) House Flipper Remastered Collection (New release on Steam, available June 4) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 4) GOALS (New release on Steam, available June 4) Gothic 1 Remake (New release on Steam, available June 5) NTE: Neverness to Everness (Launcher) The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition (Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass) Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (Epic Games Store) XCOM: Enemy Unknown (Steam) Nvidia also plans to add support for these games during the rest of June, though more titles will probably land as weeks go by too: STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions (New release on Steam, June 11) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, June 11) Denshattack! (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass, June 17) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (New release on Steam, June 18) Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, June 22) Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains (New release on Steam and Ubisoft, June 30) Farever (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
