Where did you get Pro from? as far as speed, you can only go as fast as your internet ISP allows you to go. Some ISP's are capping bandwidth and, you also have to keep in mind that Limewire users have the option to turn off their bandwidth. Pro doesnt make you go any faster than basic. You are downloading across the same network, Gnutella, which IS FREE. Pro is only good if you are a heavy downloader and feel it is worth it to spend the extra money and I hope you got it at: www.limewire.com because anyplace else is a scam.
