You can still get LW 4.18 Pro from your personal download page if your support is still valid. Click on the link on left side of that page where it says Get LimeWire Classic. I believe LW are working on certain problems faced with the present LW 5, so you might wish to wait until next release before continuing with LW 5.

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.

Default sorry

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.

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

Lime Wire » LimeWire PRO Lookup

Probably been too many people venting that has made some of us a little tired. Fact is there is some problems with connecting for 'some' people with LW 5. LW.org is working on a solution.

Though in my experience, one version works fine for some people & for others not, then the next version might be vice versa for such people. lol
