Default the more use it the better it will get?

Ok, from what I have read so far the thinking goes that the more people start using the new ultrapeer system the better it will get. This would be great but it seems to overlook on thing, if anyone is reading the connection problems in the other limewire board, it seems that most people are going back to the pre-ultrapeer versions of the software. Myself included. I paid the $6 for the pro version and am consistently getting really bad search results.

Ok, as an example, I am currently running both version pro and 1.7c. Put in Alice Cooper in the search on both ... Pro version:75 / 1.7c version: 310. With results differences like that, selling this ultrapeer technology to anyone is gonna be rough. From the general sentiment I'm picking up in some other areas of this forum it isn't selling at all.

As a side note: I read a comment from one of the developers in another forum that the reason for the ad-ware and pay versions is to pay bills. A recommendation: in an arena where there are a lot of other programs out there, many rather good ones for absolutely free (no ads or charges), don't let your resume get old. If your depending on this to make your living, your walking on rather thin ice. ; ) .... I would strongly recommend not getting your hopes up about getting rich with this.

Just my thoughts,
