Lime Wire was orderd by the court to disable the searching, downloading, uploading, file trading and/or file distribution functionality, and/or all functionality of LimeWire’s P2P file-sharing software.
The free, open-source Limewire Basic peer-to-peer program hit the Internet in 2001, tapping into the Gnutella decentralized peer-to-peer network to share a variety of legal and copyrighted files, including music.
Now that LimeWire is gone for good. What are Alternatives to LimeWire?
FrostWire:
If you are a limewire fan, I personaly recommend FrostWire, because it includes much of the functionality of LimeWire’s free version. FrostWire uses both the Gnutella and BitTorrent protocols to download content.
BitTorrent:
BitTorrent breaks files down into smaller packets so that thousands of people can share the same file simultaneously. This scheme is particularly useful for trading large video files.
Vuze:
Vuze, formerly known as Azureus, bills itself as the “most powerful BitTorrent app on earth.” Earlier this month, it rolled out support for the new Apple TV, BlackBerry devices, and a wider range of Android devices in addition to existing support for various game consoles, TiVo, and Samsung TVs.
I can't remember the last time I used a p2p software. I only use direct links now!
I might start using newsgroups also. Some friends find the rarest stuff on there!
3ala eedik.. Sometimes, it's not that easy to find a direct link. The p2p software is a lot faster and sufficient for some people, once you get the right downloading speed. 🙂
