Damn...The end of an era...I remember back in high school I used to download tons of songs daily using LimeWire, and now it's gone...*sobs*
EDIT: Forgot to add that I moved to torrents 4 years ago and I never ever used P2P software (limewire, frostwire, etcetcetc) agai. But I kinda miss the good ol' days of downloading music in Limewire.

The record companies are DOOMED!!! Face it, we will never again pay for music. Each year since 1999 the number of P2P apps for sharing music has grown exponientially. RECORD COMPANIES!!! WE ARE DANCING ON YOUR GRAVES!!! Mark Montgomery edited by ddp

Don't care, I upgraded to torrents two years ago and never looked back.
Due to copyright issues I am sorry to say I am no longer Batman : (

millions of idiots around the world are crying because they can't get the newest top 40 song off lime wire for free anymore! They won't move to torrents they will move to itunes because torrents are too complicated for a lot of computer illiterate people

No big deal. Haven't used it for years anyway. It was just a virus/trojan p2p site anyway. There's always utorrent, TPB, Frostwire, and if you understand Chinese check out Baidu, plus a plethora of others.

If you know how to use torrents then you know how to use newsgroups. I use to use limewire for hard to find songs but that was on rare cases.
As you all know, when on falls another service rises.

Rest in peace Limewire.
I will remember you with fond memories. Viruses, 5kbps download speeds, constantly downloading that one damn clip "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, but i did go to mp3.com blah blah blah" lol. You guys know what I'm talking about.
I fear now that even more attention will befall our beloved torrents. :(

Whar's amusing is that, in fact, the program itself still works just fine; pirated copies of Limewire Pro are easy to come by, and many order programs (e.g. Shareaza, Frostwire, et al.) use one or more of the same networks. Too bad Gnutella is such a lousy network...
If you are trying to find rarities or single songs/books, eMule is the way to go. For large and/or very recent content, use Bittorrent and/or Usenet.
Oh, and Bittorrent IS a o2p program.

Yes, I use it for exactly this. When you want a single track, limewire was the way forward.
RIP Limewire, you will always be in my heart!
