Yea I bought the 50 dollar lifetime membership which is good for 99 years of slow creeping downloads and "not enough sources" messages to last me for the rest of my freakin life.
So i'll bend over and someone can bone me up de patoot now..

Hi Skeptic

As Peerless said, you have already been "boned up de patoot" but you did not know it was happening at the time (hope you were smiling).

Limewire is free to download and Limewire Pro costs less than $19 (US), which includes six months worth of free upgrades.

And is available from here:

http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml

So stop being so bitter and twisted, contact your bank or credit card company and try and get your money back. Mind you, you will have to explain how you managed to "give your money away" for something that is freely available (Bone number 2).

Now that you are no longer a virgin (and you paid for this privilege), in future you will be more selective about who you bend over for, i.e. do a little research before you part with your money.

So... there are scads of very nice, professional looking websites that offer "legal, free" mp3 downloads... etc... and they make you pay... then they give you a link to the free LimeWire download page... etc... total scams!

How the hell is any poor novice supposed to know these are a scam?

In fact, right here on the top of THIS FORUM web page ::

Gnutella Forums > Current Gnutella Client Forums > LimeWire (Cross-platform)

See:

Ads by Goooooogle...

CHECK THIS OUT:

Free Unlimited Downloads
Very Fast - Unlimited Mp3 Downloads Safely Download Movies & Songs

I clicked on it, then clicked on:

Start downloading with LimeWire...

Here's what I got:

Lifetime Full & Unlimited Access for only $37.95.

So, GNUTELLA FORUMS! your own ads here are perpetrating a scam!!!

WTF???

I suppose, it is poetic justice... this website (GNUTELLA FORUMS) gets funded by the scam artists, so that they can afford to run a helpful website for Gnutella users...

The problem that causes is this:

Novice users may trust those ads, since they are here, and see some good, useful information, otherwise!

Yet, some ADS are for SCAMS!
