Limewire was great a couple of years ago...But since years gone bye people @ L/W either don't give a .... and won't respond to your requests or just don't have any answers. I had bought pro awhile ago and there is NO difference from Basic/PRO...I have downloaded latest verison 4.13.12 Beta/Pro..which Pro is the only version from which you can d/l torrents from...which they do not tell you. Further more there no programs freeze up no d/l or u/l the program just sits there and idles....I feel I have wasted my money on L/W
