You need to read the forum rules you are not supposed to make multiple post on the same thread. Doing so will only irritate the senior members and will most likely result in getting no response to your question so please read the Forum Rules. The link below will take you there.

I am going to be nice and answer you questions this time but please don't do it again or I or anyone else will probably not answer you. As far as the message you are receiving about digital signatures that is a windows warning telling you that the file cannot be verified by windows and windows does not know if it is safe or not. The link below will take you to the official site please get LAW there. It is safe if you get it from there.

As far as the difference between Basic and Pro. With Pro in Leaf mode you get 5 connections and Basic you get 4. Thus you theoretically get 20% more search results More search results = more possible connections = greater download speeds.
With Pro you are allowed to have 10 connections when downloading, With basic you allowed 8. Thus 10 = potentially greater download speeds than 8. 10 X KB/s = KB/s 8 X KB/s = KB/s
If you are on dial-up or any other type of slow connection there is really no noticeable difference as far as your speed goes because you don't have the ability to take advantage of the speeds that Lime Wire is capable of getting.
I use Pro because the developers of LAW are continually working to improve the program and I believe they deserve our support.
