It wasn't any problem for me. I just went to the limewire site, and downloaded the older/better version (4.18). I extracted the files, and just installed over my "improved " version.

It was easy. I am surprised to hear someone couldn't get the old version back, using the same method.

Now that poses a new question or two: If I upgrade to Pro version (which I might do one day), do I get a pro 4.18 or would I be forced to accept this new version?

Another question: Is there any way to eliminate the thing asking me to upgrade to the the new version? I tried it, didn't like it, and I'm back.
