I have noticed that some totally baseless and unfair Limewire bashers creep out of the woodworks at every new upgrade spitting out meaningless insults, and touting some inferior software. I would bet a lot that they have not given Limewire a try in years. I have been using and comparing it for over a year. If results (finds and downloads) are what you want, Limewire Pro is the best out there, by a wide margin. There is, however, a price to pay, in $ and memory usage. Acqlite is a nice free alternative, but not as powerful.
