In the face of rumors saying LimeWire is closing down, they are announcing the release of LimeWire 4.9:
New York (July 29, 2005) Lime Wire LLC (www.limewire.com), the leading
designer and developer of advanced P2P software, announced today the
release of LimeWire 4.9. This latest version of LimeWire continues Lime
Wire’s tradition of leaving its competition lime-green with envy over
LimeWire’s superior capabilities. Users will experience file-sharing in
revolutionary new ways with these incredible new features and improvements:
Downloading:
In a nutshell, downloads just work better. They’re faster, they’re
smarter, and they use fewer resources. LimeWire now has vastly improved
support for large files due to a highly optimized swarming algorithm. As
more users upgrade, downloads will continue to surpass lightning speed.
Sharing:
We’ve gone to great lengths to make sure that you don’t accidentally
share files you didn’t mean to. LimeWire will now detect directories
that are potentially “sensitive”, prompting the user to confirm that
they really do want to share them. You can also now choose to share or
not to share any individual file within any folder. Shared individual
files can be found easily in a special “Individually Shared Files”
folder in the LimeWire Library. All this, and we’ve still maintained
LimeWire’s famous easy to use user interface.
Searching:
LimeWire now recognizes more types of licenses in the search results.
Users are able to view and verify Creative Commons licenses, WeedShare
files, and arbitrary licenses in WMA and WMV files. A new “Search More”
submenu allows users to find similar results. And as if that wasn’t
enough, you can now right-click on any search result and choose to
‘Download As’, saving the file to any location!
Network Messaging:
The entire messaging architecture has been redesigned and
rearchitected to use less resources and less memory. Ultrapeers will
notice a significant speed and memory improvement when connected to many
hosts, with faster results and more hosts reached.
