Looks like the money grabbing nazis have stuck their boots in to stop the use of LW or limit its use.

Therefore I strongly recommend you ignore their update suggestions & stay with the version of LW you have. LW 4 does not have force update options, neither do versions 5.5.10 or earlier.



You can still use LW 5 if you downgrade back to LW 5.5.10. Basic instructions are here: Hello Out There

Installers are found here: LW 4 or 5 installers for Windows _ and _ LW 4 or 5 installers for Mac OSX _ and _ LW 4 or 5 installers for Linux.

There is also the * LimeWire Pirate version * which is based on LW Basic but gives as good as LW Pro. No legal notice on startup. And connects without any problems.


LimeWire Changelog


* Note: LW 4 or 5 will not connect without a fresh Gnutella.net file so follow those instructions.

To stop the Legal notice on start window, simply click Library tab & it will vanish. For LW 4, simply click on the white area or do a search.
