Topic starter  

does anyone know what the latitude and longitude coordinates in limewire.props are used for.

One of two things come to mind, either geolocation of client when limewire installed or geolocation on last connection.

Finally, has anyone ever used this in any case and in Court ?

Thanks for any responses.

Wow…no posts on this subject since 2009!

But anyway…I too have run into this scenario with the Limewire Geo info. In my case it appears this Geo location is based on the local Internet access point and not the actual location of the individual.

Bill is correct…
I have tested this and it is in fact the location of the Internet access point at the exact time LimeWire was installed on the suspect pc.

Well, Bill is somewhat correct. Change your IP address, and then start up LW on your PC and watch what happens to the GEO-LOCATION. It only changes when the IP changes, including the Date/Time.

GEO_LOCATION= http//geo.links.limewire.com/geo/ is used to GEO locate the client on connection. This entry includes a date and time that a connection was made from the location. This entry established that LimeWire was connected to the Internet at the date and time specified in this entry.
