What happened to Limewire?

[bif]

It used to be great. Now, the only way to find music is turn off the junk filter and wade through a ton of "Steven Spielberg gets pranked" entries.

1. I was noticing that myself.

I didn't have internet access for nearly a year. The other day I tried to download a couple of songs and got nothin'. :shrug:

3. I thought I was

the lucky winner of all the Steven Spielberg gets pranked messages-

I have found that if you restart limewire you can usually find what you are looking for --

4. I think the RIAA is fucking with it

I don't use it anymore, it's not even on my computer. There are several tripwires to watch out for never ever click on something like you're talking about and beware of files that are all the same length, they're bombs waiting to go off.
It would seem that the days of filesharing are fast coming to a close, try using limewire it's similar without as many landmines.
