Greetings I'm fairly new to LimeWire and it normally takes me less than a day to download a movie also. It also depends On how many hosts have the file and there conection speed. There are a lot of variables in how long it will take to download a file. I have been extremely happy with LimeWire's performance. As has been said let the experts have more information if you are having a problem so that the issue may resolved don't just vent. It does appear though that you may have been scammed.
