    So I went to open Limewire and it showed that it didn't work. It said that the classic environment was no longer supported. I have downloaded about 8 different versions. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

    I use transmission for albums and discographies torrents, limewire for individual songs its way faster than looking up torrents and downloading. Limewire's torrent support is kind of bad and slow. And of course I only download non-copyrighted music so I'm not doing anything illegal. :cool:

    -1 for utorrent (mac) I tried this for a while but the beta was very buggy, constantly going to 100% cpu. Switched back to transmission, and now I wonder why I ever bothered to switch in the first place.
    +1 for transmission
    Its very light weight and works

    Try using Frostwire. It does the same things as Limewire.
