Not bad, could be improved

Pros: I agree with many of the pro reviews I have read here. Having used many p2p networks, I can say that I honestly found many files here that I have never seen elsewhere. Also many of the same corrupt files. But back to the positive. There appears to be no spyware. The search feature is easy to use, the skin design clear, and it keeps your searches on separate tabs to refer back to. Also, previous incomplete downloads restart automatically when you log on the next time. Now....

Cons: Unlike Limewire, Kazzalite, Bearshare etc. this has to be one of the *slowest networks I have come across. Nice to find rare video files, but be prepared to spend about a week just downloading any one of them. And I have a broadband cable connection. The wait list on files in huge, and I am accustomed to seeing the words 'pending' and 'searching' a lot. Previous searches are not saved in the search field, there is no way to search for a file of a particular size (which would give you better results since once the tab fills up, it stops searching, as well as eliminating small virus files.) There appears to be no way to limit the number of uploads from others. Very few users have searchable folders. The program for me on Windows 98 is more stable than Limewire, but less than KazaaLite. I would say give this a shot but don't expect miracles.

Abexo Defragmenter Lite Plus

Version: 4.0

This will defrag your drive...someday

Pros: Easy to load.

Cons: I use Windows 98 and I was able to defrag my hard drive with this software. However, first you have to be sure to check a hard drive under the options menu. I didn't do this the first time and went through the following long process for nothing. What it does is scans your hard drive for several hours, before the defrag section comes up. I can scan my own hard drive just fine, thank you, and I didn't ask you to. Then it uses your own Windows defragmenter tool to defrag your drive! Again, another several hours for this to complete. If you are seeking something with it's own interface and which you can have a bit of control over, look elsewhere. You'd have to be a fool to pay money for this one. It's completely cheesy.

Unstable, use at your own risk

Pros: I have used a few P2P's such as KazaaLite, Shareaza and Bearshare. This one has some unique features, such as the ability to order files according to size during search, and the order remains as the searches continue. I also like the inclusion of rare files that I haven't found on other sources.

Cons: My biggest complaint is the same one I have with some other P2Ps. It's not a stable program. I'm running Limewire Pro and it's very common for the program to cause my computer to re-start, or for it to lock up my computer. Also, when you do come back to Limewire, incomplete files do not necissarily start up again automatically. I notice that I have to click on a file and command it to find more sources, then off it goes. And a warning to anyone that doesn't use a decent anti-virus program. I have found more infected zip files here than anywhere else. Always scan these type of program files first before opening, it seems like half the files here are infected. Also, the small Quicktime video files found here are almost always bogus ads with spyware, don't download. All in all, Limewire is more trouble than it's worth. I might play around with it more if it was a lot more stable.

Chessmaster 10th Edition demo

Missing DLL File

Cons: I have to agree with a previous review. After loading it on Windows 98, I got an error message which stated 'MSVCRT.DLL is linked to missing export NTDLL.DLL-RtlGetN {VersionNumbers'. In other words, there isn't a chance in hell that this is going to run. I just love these demos.

Couldn't get started

Pros: Free.

Cons: I have no idea if this P2P is good or not. When opening the installation, I got a message stating 'This application has not been designed for this operating system'. I run Win 98 SE. So what OS does this work on ? I have tried all of the other major P2P systems and they have all loaded correctly.
