Based limewire

My heroes have always been pirates.

When the world needed him most... He returned.

Awesome but also ew limewire, haven't used that since they went shitty. Someone(s) please download it and reshare it to soulseek, the true spiritual successor of the old og limewire.

(Tbf I'd be surprised if it wasn't already on slsk too, but I can't log on to check rn)

He was taking a napster but woke when the country went morally broke

Just taking this opportunity to remind everyone that the Limewire you knew is no longer. From Wikipedia:

Name reuse by unrelated companies
In 2022, Austrian brothers Julian and Paul Zehetmayr bought LimeWire's intellectual property and turned it into an NFT service.
LimeWire's name was revived in 2022 for an unrelated music-based NFT platform, an action with which Gorton expressed displeasure.

Please don't use no crypto bro NFT infused trash. Go watch the segment from Archive.org.
Seed the torrent if you wanna spread the word.

It's infinitely safer than this sketchy ass company.

I love how the censored segment was 'accidentally' published in Canada.

Feigned incompetence and malicious compliance is a great way to resist fascists and collaborators.

I mean... Its on YouTube already 💁‍♂️ Idk why people act like the internet doesnt exist. Bari Weiss is stupid. If she actually wanted to people not to see this, she should have just let it air, it would have had far less viewes then it will now.

The use of Limewire in this context seems to be more of an interesting news novelty.

That being said, in any democratic leaning country that truly values freedom (in the real sense, not the polemical American sense), the distribution of such media would not be an issue and you wouldn't have to resort to Limewire, a torrent would suffice or even another broadcast TV network would air with violation of copyright.

Gnutella network is definitely still active, athough not even close to the level it once was. It has plenty of drawbacks but one of the few advantages over torrents is that it doesn't need trackers. Just enough clients online to connect with one another.

You can even still find Shareaza with a quick search.

The corporate entity that now owns lime wire, didnt they also previousLy do a bunch of NFT nonsense?

What a joke

Article also uses the term "limewire torrent"... 🤦‍♂️

Lol we just had it circulating as is. The video was all over the fedi.

Using limewire was historically like having unprotected sex with the internet

Quaint. Its like they haven't heard of Archive

I did see this headline yesterday and then downloaded the 60 minutes segment using Nicotine+ which is a Soulseek client. I did look at an alternative to Limewire for linux called "Frostwire" but apparently it's now just a bittorrent client, where it used to support Gnutella in the past. And finally I did find that the internet archive of course had a torrent available which I also got for good measure.

EDIT: It was possible to get something with gtk-gnutella, but it was nowhere near as fast, nor did I get more than just one result. It may be more resiliant, but if nobody is using it..

This is definitely the timeline where the writers popped dangerous amounts of acid.

Piratebay is still around and holding strong. Torrents are the way my friends.

It's on YouTube: https://youtu.be/jiehEMlNiCI

*Edit, the domain looks weird, but it's legit I guess Belgium is hosting this

Meanwhile those of us still using irc just sitting here whistling a merry tune.

Anyone read or find the 81 page report the Berkeley Human Rights students put together?

🍋‍🟩👍

Wish it was on Napster. I rarely had much luck with lime wire.

I saw the clip on tik tok. 🤷🏼

Sweet, Limewire is back?

The new LimeWire once again reshapes the way people can store, create and collaborate on content, with the power of AI.

Le sigh.

Weiss controversially pulled the segment on Monday, claiming it could not air in the US because it lacked critical voices, as no Trump officials were interviewed.

That's it folks. Hitler did nothing wrong, nobody asked his dog if Adolf was a good boy.

Limewire still exists?
