Is that enough or do you need more. As to why someone from this site would still be using limewire that leaves me scratching my head.

I just wish it weren't such a hassle to use. Thanks for the explanation though.

Windows PCs make Java look bad because it's not a native language on Windows 'C' is. That's one of the reasons that µtorrent is so responsive it's a small program in C and optimized for Windows. What is a good Windows program for Gnutella these days? I'm thinking of Bear Share Lite or maybe Shareaza.

Gnutella and any p2p app that are on the network sucks. You get the same garbage as all the other clients. Its not like BT where you can simply be plugged in to some of the best sites and use a client that works for you. Simple dont use it. Gnutella and any p2p app that are on the network sucks.

ZP has a whole list of them. And as for your PC if you want to keep running the resource hog progs an extra 512 MB DDR might help. I use Bit Comet for my large downloads and for hard to find single mp3s I hop on Overnet through edonkey 2000. Try a few other clients. ZP has a whole list of them.

I guess what really keeps me with Gnutella is that it lets me just search. BitTorrent is great at what it does but when you need something immediately it can be burdensome to have to manually find your download source. I'm sort of stubbornly clinging to the convenience of being able to search P2P networks like I search Google. Maybe I shouldn't complain about the tradeoffs ;) Thanks for all the suggestions I appreciate them.
