You don't have to SHOUT No need to yell at us - we don't work for LW.

If you want help from LW support specifically, then use the Pro support link here:Lime Wire » LimeWire PRO Support Center

If you just updated Pro from the official site, go to your personal download page (the email that you recieved from LW after updating has a link to the page) & there you can download 4.18.8 if you're not happy with LW 5.

If you're still having connection problems after that, please see this thread: If LW Will Not Connect

I'm sure you are pissed off.

As I said in the post above yours (did you even read it?), the helpers here don't work for LW. So it's really doing no good for you to have a rant here... the people who work for LW aren't going to read it.

Here, you get help from volunteers who have used LW for years. That's all.
If you're after an official response to complaints, you won't get it here.
What you will get is advice that may help you, if you want to try.

If you want to try to sort out your LW issues, then click on this link: If LW Will Not Connect
The reason that there are so many different fixes is because so many different fixes have worked for so many different people with different setups.

If you don't want to go through that process then you can go & vent over at this other forum where the LW employees actually post (click on link): LimeWire Forums - Powered by vBulletin

Don't worry - we get mightily pissed off as well, when people get all steamed & post over here with all their LW grievances. When all we're trying to do is help.

All people are doing is venting their anger with people in the same situation. You don't have to be the big Know it all. THATS what ***** people off. I was explaining MY situation to the forum, i didn't need you to to make smart **** comments "as i said in the post above (did you even read it?). Some of us out here are not as up too it with terms and ways on the computer. Theres no need to be a smart ****

Oh. I thought that what was pissing you off was that your LW wasn't connecting & that you hadn't had a reply to your emails from Pro support. Or did I misread your original post?

As I said "I'm sure you are pissed off". I wasn't being sarcastic... if your Pro's not working then I'm sure you are pissed off. And as I said, if you just want to vent then go to the forum where the LW employees are.

You don't exactly come across as being all sweetness & light! You could've asked for help, rather than just having a rant. How do you expect people to respond to a rant?

If you want to try to fix your connection problem, I gave you a link to help. Have a look through that thread... things are explained pretty simply & maybe one of the fixes will help you. There are heaps of fixes to try, because there have been heaps of fixes that have worked for different people. If your Pro's suddenly stopped connecting, first thing to try is deleting the preferences folder. Next thing to try would be deleting your gnutella.net file. And then try replacing the gnutella.net file.

All these are explained in the help thread.

I didn't mean to come across like I was Yelling, more like frustration. I have gone to Lime Wire PRO Support Center, they don't reply,and it keeps taking me back to the 5. download.
thank you for your time and support.
