I'm glad I finally found this forum. I'm sure limewire is tired of hearing all of the bitching. I certainly let them know how I feel about this new version. (Of course, with no response)

I can see how I receive search results from more than one host when the connection shows I have 1 host connection. That did make the veins bulge less than before I realized it.

What's weird is I see faster download speeds. Of course I'm on the Flintstones dial up modem, but to get halfway decent d/l speeds with the old version I had to disconnect from the network and let my downloads continue. Now I see almost no difference in the download speeds whether I'm connected or disconnected from the network.

But I do notice that I get many many fewer results from searches. I'd be happier with the old version of limewire (if I could find it).

Does anybody know where to get the old version? Anybody willing to do a file transfer via ICQ?

I'm grateful to have found this forum before I decided to pay for the "pro" version. In my email to limewire I asked if I could maintain more than one connection with the paid for version. I'm still waiting for an answer, but it seems that it doesn't matter if you pay for it or not. You will still get an inferior number of connections... ultrapeer or not ultrapeer.
