- pronoiac 16y agoFrom the title here, I wouldn't have guessed the article was breathlessly proclaiming the software back from the dead like a zombie vampire Jesus!!1!
- metapirate 16y agoYou can download it here: http://metapirate.webs.com http://metapirate.webs.com
- CrazedGeek 16y agoAlternatively, http://www.frostwire.com/ http://www.frostwire.com/ is a pretty decent LimeWire fork.

- smokinn 16y agoI'm just waiting for someone to build a searchable distributed index for bittorrent that connects you not with a peer but with a hop that just happens to be on the network. The people who actually have the files don't ever connect to the people they're sending it to directly. This network is self-aware enough that fast seeds tend to connect to fast hops and slow to slow. You pay a throughput penalty but you get a massive "security" boost. Of course, the legitimate reason to be on this network is a tor-like "to help dissidents access files they're blocked from". Seeing the *AAs trying to litigate that would be something.
- bonzoesc 16y agoWasn't the Gnutella protocol/network designed to be impossible to kill for this reason? Limewire's increasing centralization (in an attempt to "monetize" people stealing stuff) was what made them vulnerable.
