I'm sure that lots of people try to download Pro off the network. Whether they get a good, clean version of Pro is another matter
Why would anyone be so ch_eap, anyway? LW Pro's a great app & the small payment for Pro goes towards the future development of LW.

Personally, I think anyone who tries to download Pro from the network deserves to get a useless, malware infested piece of crap that won't download a single file

Could you be more rude?

You're basically hoping that people get a virus! You do realize that you can get bogus files, corrupt files, and viruses with the LimeWire Pro right?

Congrats !!!

You get my coveted dumb-azz of the week award !

HOW... HOW the hell do you interpret the post from birdy as being 'rude' ?

Further, you parade your general ignorance by implying that there is some increased 'threat' by using LimeWire Pro...
ALL forms of downloading ANYTHING can be harmful...

May I add a suggestion re: Anti-Virus s'ware ?

I very strongly recommend Avast ...

It is very 'powerful' and the updates are automatic for both virus definitions AND program updates...

It is very 'economical' in CPU and memory usage... And does NOT cause problems on a ShutDown of your OS...

Main tip with it is to always use the 'Advanced' display...


Oooh, and Adaware is excellent.
But, if you wisely elect to use the 'Pro' version, be cautious in your use of Adwatch... It does require some experience to use it properly and it can cause you considerable grief re: 'legitimate' alterations of your Registry settings.

Agree the small payment helps us all. When you consider all the fantastic stuff we already get for free, I think payment for Pro is the correct thing to do.
