Newbie
 
Hi, can someone please give me some advice. I have been using limewire foe a few months now, just to download music. I came across a site earlier to do with downloading movies, but as I did not know how good limewire is for movie downloads, I ended up paying $35 for this other service. I have read through it and all it does is give links to p2p software, and limewire is in the list. I feel like I have paid for something that I did not need and thought it may have been more beneficial to upgrade to limewire pro.
Firstly can someone please tell me if upgrading is a lot better than the basic.
Can someone give me pointers to the best way for me to run limewire.
Are there any better p2p software than limewire as there is a list in the package I bought.
Many thanks.

Unfortunately you have been scammed call your bank up and tell them to cancel the charges.

gav223,

If your going to get the Pro version. Make sure you get it from the official site: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml. Any place else should be considered a scam.

You will not see much difference between LW Basic and Pro. The Pro version connects to more hosts and downloads from more sources, so the potential for better search results and faster d/ls is there. If your looking for a dramatic difference, you probably won't find it. A lot of us consider buying Pro as a donation to help fund future updates and to keep the program going.

As for whats the best program, you'll find as many opinions as there are programs available. I'm partial to LW myself. I also use Shareaza sometimes, but LW is faster:).

Don't download any P2P programs that aren't free or don't offer a free version. There are a lot of scam sites out there looking for a quick buck;).
