Just to keep this forum updated.

My bank told me they were powerless to retrieve the funds, due to the fact that I had willingly agreed for the funds to be debited from my card online. However, they could take steps to retrieve funds should they be taken illegaly/unfairly in the future.

I then checked through everything on the website and read the T&C. I hadn't noticed before, but there was a seven day get out clause. So I rang the number in North America, told the customer support desk that I wasn't happy with the download and that it had screwed with my PC and they agreed to re-credit my debit card. I asked for an email confirmation, who I'd spoken to and how long it would take.

The money arrived back in my account today. Hopefully that is end of story and all ends happily ever after etc.


I tried the Lime Wire download once more via the link given to me on this thread, but my PC really doesn't like it, I'm getting PUPs etc and extremely poor and slow performance, both while online and even when not online !!

Perhaps the Pro paying version is the answer but I'm loathe to take the chance. Having my PC working to it's full capacity and without hitches is too valuable so I'm afraid I will have to live without Lime Wire.

Good luck.
