I just bought Ten for X (waiting for it to be delivered) and it has LimeWire Pro with it.
Anyone who uses it got any remarks? Is it decent?

i used to use it... but it wasn't very good.
well, now with iSwipe i can't find anything anymore either, it's always "busy" (95% of the time -_-)
and i can't use Acquisition since i still have os X 10.1.5 (will change at next reformat).
there are a few soulseek clones or stuff, which either doesn't work, either need unix knowledge or some weird stuff to make it work. (i know some people here know how to make it work, but i've read that it takes a few hours and a few installations, terminal commands, and at least 10.2 or 10.3 too, so....)
mac os is a wasteland about p2p nowadays... = /
looks like riaa has quite won on the mac territory. not totally, but still, quite.
(i usually ask a charitable PC-using soul to download the things for me on soulseek...)

ahhh
well, i got other stuff with this box set too, so at least i guess some stuff will be useful for LimeWire
yeah i know, i had a look at slsk for Mac......i DO know some UNIX stuff........messed around with Linux for a while, so I'm not totally clueless there, and i DO have Mac OS X 10.3.2, but I can't be arsed fucking around for a massive download and stuff
the reason it takes so long is that it compiles as it goes......i just don't see why they don't make a binary distro of it :(
so you reckon Riaa would be one to use?
i could always install a winblows p2p proggy and use it in Virtual PC

its just i had a bad experience with GIMP....I installed it, and it wouldn't work...i think the install fucked up or something
but the problem was that there was no uninstall - and with UNIX application data can be in a number of different places, so I had GIMP stuff all over the place
i like a tidy system you see

XNap is quite good. not that much choice for rare stuff but it works well so far.

i just tested searching for aphex twin (just as a test to see if it was worth my while with being into braindance and all) and it didn't find anything!
but it did find other stuff (nin, ae, bjork etc)
i think i might end up buying this
thanks for the tip :)
i would never have found this othewise
have you also tried the other program he makes?
www.inquisitorx.com
it's a search thingy, like Sherlock
pretty good i think too

it will find lots of aphex twin, you just need to keep it open for a few minutes to find enough sources
