The Gnutella network is one of the most used nowadays, and one of the most popular clients to be able to share files over it, is without any doubt, LimeWire. It's a very efficient P2P client, that through a very simple interface, will allow us to connect to a server, performing searches (allowing us to filter the results depending on what kind of documents that we want to download), obtain the contents that we want and manage a list of friends with which we'll be able to share files directly. Best mechanical drawing software for mac. Other functions worth highlighting of this application are the system to create playlists and play the files, and the library to be able to manage the downloaded files (with which it will be very easy to organize all the songs or the films that can be found within it). The interface, as well as having a very simple appearance, has shortcuts to the program's most important functions, making it much easier to use.
If you still haven't found a quick and stable P2P client for Mac, look no further and download LimeWire right now.
quoteOriginally posted by BrianMacOS: Has any one else got that Limewire update? The only thing I notice is when I add files to be shared it has to scan every file, why this version does that I am not sure. But it took about 10 mins to go though 727 files, that was kind of nuts. Limewire suqs. They try to charge money on a phre and opensource protocol.
It's a lot better, faster, stronger. And its completely and totally phre.
Limewire Mac Download
W/o adverts or shit from the man. I just updated my LimeWire with the new version last night. I don't like it at all. I quickly discovered that in your shared folder, the new LimeWire creates a 'placeholder' of sorts for every file you intend on downloading, whether it eventually connects and downloads or not. This creates a number of problems.
First, your shared folder gets filled with numerous zero K files that you eventually have to delete yourself once you close out the program. Second, this new development negatively affects your search abilities. With the new version, you think, 'wow, it's coming up with many more results than the old version,' but when you take a closer look and sort by size, you discover that a huge percentage of those results are-you guessed it-zero K files. Thanks, LimeWire. Real helpful.
LimeWire was always a memory hog and slow, but now, I'm not sure I want to bother with it anymore. This new version is way too annoying. So, I went to the Mozilla webpage and being a rather ignorant consumer end user, I have no idea how to download and implement that program. Do I have to piece it together? : Message edited by: Gandalf the Semi-Coherent. quoteOriginally posted by Gandalf the Semi-Coherent: I just updated my LimeWire with the new version last night.

Do I have to piece it together? : Message edited by: Gandalf the Semi-Coherent mozilla has a disk image (which you mount then copy over the folder), but i think u meant to say mutella. (mozilla is a web browser, mutella is a gnutella servent). Installing a piece of OpenSource software can get kind of hairy.
Limewire Free Music Downloads For Win…
It might require that you have the developer tools installed (almost certain that it requires it). But here goes.
You gotta go to the download page, and download the file (it should end it.gz,.tar, or.tgz), and unzip and untar the file (stuffit expander can take care of that). Then pop into terminal. Type `cd path into the mutella folder;`.
The path will probably be /Desktop/mutella., but that depends on where your downloads go to. Now you should be within the mutella folder. Now type: `./configure;make;sudo make install;`, it'll ask you for a password after a while. Then close the terminal window, and open a new one. Type `mutella`. And now you have mutella. You can check their page for instructions to setup the web frontend, cuz i dont remember those steps.

Limewire can be pretty dreadful but it did stop doing that for me after a while. My bigger annoyance is it displays items that are in subfolders to the world but doesn't allow them to be downloaded. Where does everyone get their music? I miss Napster. It seems the Gnutella network sucks.
Or maybe I'm just stupid! But I can't find anything these days! I mean, LimeWire sucks, but I can't find anything on Gnutella, or get it to successfully download, be it pop or weird music. Maybe it's the Gnutella protocol?
Acquisition I will try. Drumbeat (I read about it in MacAddict) looked promising. Hell, iSwipe looked VERY promising. The only problem is, these apps never seem to actually download the files successfully (which is helpful.) iSwipe in particular does a lot of stuff, it's really cool, in concept. Only one problem, after hours, I get a few files, sometimes incomplete. It has become hard to get silly singles I would never pay for and weird music like remixes, parodies, eclectic world music that I otherwise wouldn't be able to get. Mainstream music is so pathetic and boring right now.
You have to look for good music. And these days that is very hard, due to fragmentation of the file sharing community, crap software, and (maybe?) crappy network protocols. I really miss Napster. quoteOriginally posted by Proud iBook Owner 2k2: heyas.
I downloaded the source code for mutella and i tried to compile it and if got the following error: omitted the quote for brevity That's taken from my terminal app upon configuration. Can any Unix geek out there help me? I installer Fink and it still didnt work. It looks like it can't find a c/c compiler. Which would indicate that you didn't install the dev tools. They are on a cd that came with x.1 (not sure if it comes with x.2, but it should). It died trying to find gcc, or cc which are c/c compilers.
quoteOriginally posted by Proud iBook Owner 2k2.snip.any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm running Mac OS X 10.1.5, with 384 mb of ram. To find the source code for go here: Direct Connect 4 Linux i haven't tried dc (didn't even know there was an OSS version) but it died trying to find an xml library (libxml2). That particular library can be fink'd (i'm sure, with `sudo fink install libxml2`).
Failing that, i think i've seen it on sf.net ( the place for OSS). But, judging from the problem with mutella, i'd guess that your probably still missing `cc`. : Message edited by: thuh Freak. quoteOriginally posted by Proud iBook Owner 2k2: Everybody Thanx so much.
COuld you please sne me direct link to where i could download the missing pieces? I got GCC after i posted. THanx again i think you said you have fink. In that case, do this `sudo fink install libxml2`. It may ask you a few things (password first, then if you want to install any dependancies xml2 has). Then, you can return to dc.
When u install opensource programs that require things you installed through fink though, you have to do `./configure -prefix=/sw/` instead of just `./configure`. Basically, when u install OSS, try `./configure`, and if u get probs, try `./configure -prexif=/sw/`.
