Not sure how you got that link, however that's not the default download link people go to when they go to the LW download page. The default page is the first one shown in the image I posted. Start from the beginning. Go to the LW download page as given in links I posted earlier. LW.org cannot be blamed if other sites or people bookmark the direct download link. I posted the /download/version link earlier but still forces users back to the default page. The link you gave is specifically OSX, namely /download/download.php?version=osx so someone has either directly posted that link on their site or bookmarked it.

The old version 4.18 is /download/download.php?version=last_osx

Sorry, but that *is* the default download link on the homepage. ("Download LimeWire")

At least it's the homepage that I'm presented by Safari. If they're doing funky re-directs, you may see something different. But that is the *default* homepage DL link that I'm presented by Safari.

How did you find this link? Did you google it or ... ?
Google 'might' have given a direct link. I think Google is a highly irresponsible company for many reasons, including allowing spammers to advertise through their services. Money talks in fine language with google.

I typed "limewire.com" into my browser and hit the "Enter" key.

yes you are right. First time I've seen that happen at LW. Still has a warning at bottom-right for OSX users on that first page before you click on the Download LimeWire link. But I will have a word with them again to nag them. See if they can make any changes.

That warning was NOT there when I posted this problem last week. It's a start, but still insufficient. It's still way too easy to get screwed up. They need to fix their installer to make it work in a competent fashion. In the meantime, it's a joke -- on Mac users, unfortunately...
