What's new in this version: We are pleased to announce the release of LimeWire 2.6.3. With this release, we have cut all dependencies on all central host caches. LimeWire now uses distributed GWebCaches for initial entry points into the Gnutella network. Once LimeWire is up on the network, it will also remember long uptime clients to reconnect to in the future.



Statistics have been added to the Library that show the popularity of files based on the number of uploads and searches that are being performing on them. The number of alternate locations that LimeWire knows about for each file is also shown. These alternate locations help downloaders swarm from multiple locations.



LimeWire 2.6.3 is also a major bug fix release. Upload bugs have been fixed related to ensuring the closing of network sockets and to not counting informational requests as uploads. A browse host request on a host with no files no longer causes an error message. Many other occasional exceptions were fixed.



New translations are available for Catalan, Italian, Portuguese and Swedish. Dutch, German, French and Spanish continue to be available.

Searches are FAST and complete and almost immediate... Beats Acquisition by a mile seeing you can't download from multiple sources n all that.



Even the hard asses at VersionTracker are giving 4 and 5 stars to this version.



I would give it a 4 star too.

    Hmm... maybe I'll give it a try. I do like Acquistion a lot though.

    I just checked the reviews at Version Tracker and not too many people have good things to say about it...

    I got it just yesterday. I used Acquisition until now because previous versions of Limewire were so bad. But for some reason, I get almost no search results at all. I searched "Aerosmith" and got 7 hits. "Ozzy" got 4. "Black Sabbath" didn't get any.



    I was spending some time with a friend, and she used Kazaa and found hundreds of hits. What's wrong?

    Mac users are supposed to have better taste, so it was just kindly filtering out that stuff for you. Just kidding...

    Downloaded this yesterday and yes, for the most part it is actually good. If only it didn't unexpectedly quit on me, this would be nice. Search is fast and I can usually find everything, and they actually download unlike lots of things in XNap. Still searching for the perfect OS X p2p program though. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

    Tiger, you'll probably be searching for a long time.

    I use it too, but it is hard to actually find working downloads, like with gnutella. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />
