By the way, do you remember LimeWire? I just downloaded WireShare, the open source preservation of the good parts of the digital STD that was LimeWire. Its giving me fun flashbacks but there are so few people on the network now, its sad. That is another downside to it too, how do you truly preserve content on a p2p network like that?

Before torrents took over I was all about the eMule, better than LimeWire and similar stuff.

Also, I don't trust SourceForge 100%. GitHub is the better site to share, IMO, though it appears both are valid and "official" according to the less than 100% honest Wikipedia.

You're a smart one, they are totally known to spread malicious software but they've long since rebranded. It was just the first link to pop up on the search for "WireShark download"

I didn't know about their "rebranding". It will be a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time before I trust anyone who went bad for a while.
