Hi,

Anyone having trouble with LimeWire in Panther? LimeWire will not work for
me. LimeWire just bounces a few times in the dock and that's all.

Bye
Anthony

Download Acquisition from xlife.org. It's sooooo much better. m. ;-)

Have used this before and heard good reports about it. I stoped using
because I am sure it used to cut out after so many minutes if you had not
paid for it and let's face it... Why should anyone have to pay for a file
sharing app. Looked into LimeWire and Panther and it seems if you have done
an upgrade, Java is broken in Panther. So downloaded The Java update and
still no show with LimeWire working. At least I'm not alone.

Surely there's a programmer out there who could port Gnutella code to
native Cocoa instead of running under Java. Never had any joy with the
Mac version of Limewire.

Ah hell, you could simply use Java to program it in Cocoa!!! Simple.
But I aint doing it. Acquisition is pretty much what you're asking for
here. m.

I haven't paid for it, and it doesn't cut out, but it does gives you
annoying registration warnings every so often.
