    Reviewing 5.3.5 Beta (Sep 29, 2009)

    I have read so many bad reviews about Limewire. To me it does not matter what P2P program you use, you always have to be cautious about what you download. A quick trick I have discovered is to hover the mouse over a selection in the list. If it gives you a description tag it is actually a valid file. No tag and 10 to 1 it is a virus. I personally use Frostwire as it gives you a lot less garbage and viruses to choose from. I have about a 99% success rate in getting the file I am looking for on Frostwire. Frostwire, Limewire, Usenet, or any P2P programs cannot filter out all the bad stuff. Golden rule "PAY ATTENTION before you download anything. If you don't, you get what you deserve.

    I am somewhat flattered that you plagiarized my review from Feb 14 2008 on your website but I don't wish to be affiliated with spam/malware/adware ridden sites in any way.

    Best music download software I've used in years. I got no viruses from it or anything like that. It's been a couple of months since I started using it and I recommend it completely. I'm just downloading the new version now! Also I cna read a very very detailed review here: http://www.ez-tracks.com/review/LimeWire.com.html

    360baike: I see you are still spamming all the betanews reviews for P2P with that garbage Usenext which is a well-known scam. Thanks, but I have a REAL usenet provider so UseNext can go the way of 3WPlayer.

    This new release of Limewire seems to filter more than previous versions (I.E., I get less 'fakes' in the search results) but there are still unrelated search results. I think the Gnutella network is in it's death throes.
