I don't even know what to say i've been using limewire for at least 3 years and i was until recently using version 4.18.2 until it stopped connecting to the network.
Finally today i decided to get the current version and omg is it bad it's like they got a team together to find and hunt down the worst aspects of all downloading software.
Firstly they have the load time that was always not to good but on top of that they have taken out about half the features ad hidden the rest. I'm sorry but if i want to change what files I'm sharing why would i go to the completely unlabelled icon on the top bar instead of preferences where it always has been and is in just about every sharing application that i can think of. Also to add insult to injury they still technically still have it in preferences not as an option or a link to the right place but as a diagram to show you where it is now.
This is of course but one example there are dozens and i wont bore you.

Somehow, the whole Limewire experience is flawed. The user interface is all ass-backwards. I'm not a software engineer so I cannot put into words why I don't like it and how it should be improved, but I don't and it should. The developers should start over.
The VersionTracker page should also contain a link to the latest PPC version.
Limewire should also not prevent me from changing the name. I prefer all my apps to contain the version number in their names. Limewire does not permit me to change its name to "Limewire 5.2.13"
And how strange. When I go to the developer's site to download a copy of the last PPC-compatible verson, 4.18.8 according to them, the installer that arrives on my machine, although it indeed is version 4.18.8, is titled "Limewire 5"
It also gets uppity when I try to move it to where I want it to live
I also object that the only English version available is American English. There are many other English-speakers who do not like American English. Indeed, about a quarter of the world speaks non-American English! (OK small point, I know.)
No offline help. Annoying.
But most of all, I am extremely annoyed at being constantly nagged to upgrade to the paid version.
This app is gone!
