The LimeWire 4.1.8 beta has been released. Pro users can download it from their personal download page. The free version is available at the LimeWire Beta Page.

LimeWire 4.1.8 includes the following changes:
- Bootstrapping now makes use of multicast hosts prior to attempting UDP Host Caches.
- Locale preferencing is less important (which should reduce the fragmentation that some locales are seeing).
- Bootstrapping is even faster, making use of more lightweight UDP pinging to hosts prior to making heavyweight TCP connections.
- Corrupted data on disk can no longer cause LimeWire to report errors or fail to start up.
- The 'Review' and 'Tell A Friend' links from the Help menu have been removed.
- Spanish users will see a completely new (nearly 100% complete) translation.

LimeWire 4.1.8 is another step on the road to 4.2. Please continue to let us know about any problems with the betas. Thanks very much to all the contributors and beta testers who have helped and continue to help make LimeWire the best file sharing program on the planet.

Thanks,
The LimeWire Team
