Limewire uses the gnutella network. This is a p2p file sharing system. You
can share anything. It is not limited to music files. Although I have seen
it used that way in these parts... I have been using limewire for years. It
has always run fine on Caldera, Gentoo and SUSE. My only suspicion is that
limewire may not always be doing the best searches. Hard to tell. One nice
limewire feature is that when downloading a file, it can resume the file
from another place if the original source goes away. This also happens
across sessions of limewire. So if you get half a file today, maybe the
second half will be gotten the next day. In a p2p network, the other guy is
not required to stay around.
