last time i used this, i think it was throttled at 8 users max. stuff trickled in at a few kilobytes per second.

i guess it's been a while. i'm pleased at the changes

the question is....why are you still using limewire? just curious

1/30/2010 12:59:59 AM

cuz i dont know any better? what should i use?

1/30/2010 1:00:32 AM

torrents are where everybody's partying these days

1/30/2010 1:01:37 AM

im getting torrents from limewire. i guess i dont collect a whole lot of stuff, just fire it up when i need something. what network do you use?

1/30/2010 1:02:56 AM

I use Vuze's search a lot of the time cause they compile from btjunkie, mininova, kickasstorrents, and others. I use demonoid too sometimes, but I rarely download stuff so I could be behind the times as well.

Sweet Jesus. That's 6704 Mbit/s... as in you're rockin' 7 almost fully saturated gigabit ethernet connections? That would crash 90% of the routers out there, forget your PC and it's puny I/O bus bandwidth.

Who you with? 700 Time Warner Cable modems heating your residence in the basement?

1/30/2010 1:10:46 AM

^^ no, im sure i'm more behind than you are.

and yeah i've heard of those. i never got around to checking them out, i just need fairly common stuff every now and then, not cutting edge where the cool kids are :-P like now i just got a popular app 800 MB in under 10 minutes, so, you know, if it works...


^ EDIT, yeah, uh whoops... i just noticed and changed that to KB/s.

I hear ya

Sadly I spent the last 6 minutes thinking about if this conjecture of 700 modems in the basement is even possible. Of course we'd need to run direct fiber, but that tops at like 250 MBits. So we'd need ~30 direct fiber lines into the basement, with ~30 modems or terminals. Forget a single router, we'd need, say, 5 routers... fed into several (10+) SAN's for temp storage, and then finally an output SAN where it would get all put back together from it's various pieces.

Really want to see those rooms where NSA monitors even a fraction of internet traffic. Those machines would have to be STOUT.

sorry man. didnt mean to give you a stiffie

1/30/2010 1:24:52 AM

^eh, I get paid to answer/sell/install stuff like this. No stiffie, just got my $ on my mind

1/30/2010 1:26:06 AM

same diff. fuck bitches, get money

1/30/2010 1:28:32 AM

I think I once used Limewire in 1996.

1/30/2010 2:08:26 AM

well, that's pretty fucking awesome, since it was released in 2000.

i dont understand the hate, tho. Gnutella was the most popular P2P network in late 2007, barely 2 years ago. it still has a sizeable share. y'all act like its the Windows ME of filesharing.

1/30/2010 2:18:36 AM

They see you lime'n. They hatin'. They tryin to catch you lime'n dirty.

1/30/2010 2:21:57 AM

^^I wasn't hating

1/30/2010 2:23:04 AM

ok, boo
