We are currently trialling a Packetlogic from Netintact and I just tried
Limewire 4.14 through it.  It was correctly classified as Gnutella so
now I can block or shape it.

Has anyone found a way to block the latest version of Limewire?  Our
Firewall has an option to block Gnutella networks which used to do the
trick.  However not with version 4.14.
