It is normal for the installer to ask which language you want the installation language to be in. I mean would you prefer to read the installation instructions in chinese or other, lol As for scanning your HDD for shared files, that's normal but I don't allow it. I have a set selection of folders I share so I don't need LW to make suggestions to me.

Your bank/CC co. should be able to refund you for your initial purchase if you emphasise it was a scam. Do you remember the scam site? See Known Scam Sites


(As for pro, Sphinx has obviously never tried pro. No it won't improve the overall downld speeds, but by connecting to 5 peers instead of 3, it helps to find those harder to find files (OOB searching for example) as Grandpa suggested. It also helps to find more sources for such files so you can be downlding more consistently & faster due to the extra sources for these less common files. For very common files, you won't notice any difference between pro & basic. And yes, purchasing of Pro is seen as more of a donation by users. After all, it's not that much. Oh & consistent turbo connection also helps with searching which Basic doesn't always do. Depends on user's set up I guess. And finding sources is the name of the game for downlding. But a person should always start with LW Basic to learn the tools & tricks 1st before even considering pro. IMHO)
