I may be a little late posting this but....

Limewire ordered to disable 'all functionality,' company pledges to keep operating... somehow (video)
By Tim Stevens posted Oct 27th 2010 7:25AM

Today marks another sad day for the three people out there using P2P sites to share open source software and copyright-free materials -- plus all the other millions of people downloading illegal stuff. The RIAA has been involved in a legal battle against popular P2P client Limewire for years now and back in June it finally got the verdict it was looking for. A federal court found that the Lime Group, which maintains and distributes the software, did not take "meaningful efforts to mitigate infringement." Now, that same court has issued an injunction ordering that Lime Group disable "the searching, downloading, uploading, file trading and/or file distribution functionality, and/or all functionality." So, you know, pretty much turn the thing off. We're not sure when that'll happen, but we're guessing soon, and while a Lime Group representative indicated a desire to move forward and work with the record labels that seems awfully optimistic. You see, the court still hasn't decided how much the Group owes in damages, and we think that rather than working with them going forward the RIAA would prefer to put this lime in a coconut and, well...

More devastated by the shutdown of Mulve. RIP best music downloading program ever.

I need a replacement, and no I don't mean Frostwire.

Doug, u tried it out bro? I used limewire a lot for music and torrents so I dont know what Mulve is like or this new "Mulve Phoenix".

Good Riddance, I'd say ...

A spyware/ malware/ virus ridden, shitty P2P service. Who needs that when you have Torrents, Rapidshare/ Deposit Files/ File Serve/ Mega Uploads, etc. these days?

Wow!!!! ...For once, Collins and I are on the same page. High Five, bro

[JayKay335i]

Agreed with Collin.

Today, torrents are god.

Fileshare, rapidshare, etc. are the shiznit for music.

P2P programs were just virus ridden hacker loving crap.

Not yet man - gunna try it out tonight.

But it uses the exact same code as Mulve. If you read the article it says that the creators of Mulve released the full code on Google.

These other programs are clones.

Mulve was a very simple program (~2mb) and it used Russian social network servers and the download rate was ridiculously fast. Had virtually every song imaginable - for example I was able to find every different remix of trance songs I wanted and at high quality ~320kbps and you can sort by track length as well (radio edit or extended mix, etc).

I have never heard of Mulve up until you posted about it. I did some searching around and supposedly Mulve was an AMAZING program. I am curious to see how this will compare to the old Mulve as well as other programs

Let us know how this new Mulve is, I am very curious to see!

Same -- actually improved.

Mulve's source code was shared on Google, apparently some guys fixed it up and re-released it.

You can read the very first link I shared in this thread if you want more background info.

I may be doing something wrong but I dont think it can be downloaded on a mac

edit: I just looked into it, it is not currently available on macs

[dillon733]

It seems like as of now there is nothing that resembles mulve for macs. This sucks!!!

Apparently if you sign up on www.vk.com (this is where ThePirateApp gets it's music from) and download the Chrome plugin then you can just download the songs through there.

There's no way that's faster than ThePirateApp.
