LimeWire Developer Creates MuWire, an Anonymous File-Sharing Application

&gt;When we tried out MuWire it reminded us of some early file-sharing applications, with an old-fashioned look and an interface that may be a bit overwhelming to non-tech-savvy users ... downloading larger files can take days, instead of hours, or minutes. This is an experience veteran file-sharers may recall from many years ago.<p>Got me trying hard to remember what the Mac file-sharing app was I used to use &#x27;back in the day&#x27;. I think it even predated Limewire. Luckily ~~Google~~ StartPage was my friend:<p>Anyone else remember &quot;Hotline&quot;? [0]<p>Ahhh! --Great days! Thinking you had a blazing fast download if you got over 3k&#x2F;sec and starting a download on Wednesday, in the hope it might be finished by the weekend!<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Hotline_Communications" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Hotline_Communications</a>
