I like limewire alot but I think it sucks that they did it in java. Java blows, it's so slow and inefficient. I really like the interface, reliability, stability, and features of limewire though. It's a really nice program I just wish they'd optimize it - it's SLOW (even on a 450 mhz).

What do you think are hte best for windows and linux (if different)?

Which have spyware?
 
Morgwen asked me to post a hostlist.txt for Xolox, here:

All you have to do is replace your current hostlist.txt with fresh IPs. Open the hostlist.txt file in your Xolox folder with an editor (simple double click) and replace the content with the following encoded host caches. If it's not working I post my own hostlist.

O;H29NN;:6346
O8H29NN;:6346
O9H29NN;:6346
O>H29NN;:6346
I8=?9H>;:6346
3HK>L?N::6346
;=9=O=N2:6346
ILfN::6346
>ILfN::6346

Actually three clients contain spyware!

Limewire - the FREE windows version
Bearshare - optional
Morpheus - not sure

XoloX has lots of problems, looks like a jr. programmer's first try at a gnutella client.
It stops and you have to wait to click on something because the socket library came from VB
you could write it in 2 minutes using VB
It has no features other than a basic client
 
Isn't that the same as changing the host cache servers like connect1.gnutellanet.com or is it more complicated with that client? Thanks for the info!!!!
 
I don't know i just read a website about it and it sounded good. I didn't know it was discontinued. Was the last version released good and stable?
 
This client is discontinued almsot 5 months ago... I remember the junior clients Limewire, bearshare etc. at this time they were crap!!!

The new version of Xolox will of course be 0.6 compatible!

I did link to the refering post. The host caches will get fresh IPs for you, once you can't connect (never ever happened for me) replace the hostlist.txt again as described above.
 
> and who are you to say what it BETTER have?

Get your head out of your a**.

I'm simply stating the features it must have, if I were going to use it. If it doesn't have X features over X client, I wont use it.
