Yep, I think LimeWire is the best P2P application, too. After BitTorrent, of course… ;)

I imagine there are methods that are legal.
No personal information would be kept, only a database with counts of Registry Entries, not where they have come from.
And having those programs installed is no way a crime.
So nothing would come of it.

As for Limewire being more popular;
Thats not surprising, its true people would progress to the more advanced P2P program over time.
I know I did.

point taken. for some people its just about whats easy not what may or may not be the fastest/safest way.
some people can’t figure out bit torrent but I’m stuck on Usenet, it’s still so confusing to me. and its not free. oh well!

I basically think it is just what donkeykong said, the frustration with not being able to figure out how to use BT or other p2p for that matter. Even though it is simple to us geeks, there is still suprisingly a large mass of people who are still point+clickers.

i know a lot of people who cant figure out bittorrent (i mean they want to search within the bt client). and when you tell them about torrent sites and such, they give up because they say its too complicated.

[quote comment="75182"]May I first start by asking the question, how in the world are more people using P2P than bit torrent. its not that I don’t believe it but it just goes to show that the majority of file sharers are clueless when it comes to not only safety level but by the speed and quality from which they can get a file on bit torrent is way superior than P2P/limewire/emule/etc.[/quote]

this is easy…
the p2p programs are very similar to naspter, the intro to file sharing for most people. this means that most people use limewire because they are accustomed to it’s interface and do not have to learn anything new nor do they have to do external searches. point and click takes the win.
