Download speed would be to slow in my opinion
I think this would be almost impossible, just considering the hardware aspect of the PSP. Just look at the internet browser, its an officially made feature by Sony and its still quite slow. So if the PSP cant handle an internet browser, I doubt it could handle anything like limewire.
Nice idea though, maybe when the PSP2 comes around.
Limewire really slows your connection down, playing an online game with it running creats a crapload of lag for you. i dont know how well it would run on a PSP.
It would be possible to get a decent speed out of it... After all, it will only be downloading, and not displaying much.

The problem is most assuredly a hardware one. The PSP's wifi antenna is shitty as hell. Even at 100% signal the connection is still too noisy and is prone to drops and disconnects because of the crappy construction.
One person upgraded his antenna real early in the PSP's life and put a tutorial online somewhere. Before even imagining about getting LimeWire on PSP, one would need to upgrade the PSP's antenna.
Downloading huge files would take days because the PSP would constantly lose connection.
wut no one seems to realize is that if someone with limewire made a rss feed everyone with a psp would be able to download from that all you would have to do is email requests and wait for them to be posted
and just to let all of you kno theres nuttn wrong wit the antenna, you have to kno how to use it
this would be awsome! i use limewire all the time
Limewire is written in Java, and there's only a very basic Java virtual machine for the PSP at the moment, so a Limewire port would be pretty much impossible as it stands at the moment.
