Limewire
File sharing

Anybody know anything about Limewire?

http://www.limewire.com/

It looks like the ultimate file-sharing application. I am mostly concerned with security issues. File and printer sharing is enabled on all my computers (they're on a LAN). I do have a firewall...BlackIce Defender. But this application allows sharing of any file in one folder it uses for uploads and downloads. What should I look out for when using this app? FWIW...try Limewire...you'll be plesantly surprised.

I don't like it. Lots of dead connections, etc. It uses a peer system that IMHO is bound to cause problems. I've had better luck with WinMX, and for stuff like drivers I think using free online storage places as has been the norm is the best bet.
