I give up. I've searched everywhere but I can only find the User Guide for Ver 4.9 available for download. Where can I find a downloadable PDF for Version 5?

Thanks

It seems LW might only have the online help now User Guide - LimeWire
The LW 5 program keeps changing ... the beta versions have had considerable changes so that's why a userguide pdf is perhaps not offered for LW 5. Likewise LW 4 had several changes over various versions, which might be the reason they never got around to updating the pdf.

It's been suggested we do our own forum version for LW over the years but again, due to the way LW updates & changes, such user guides would become obsolete very quickly. LW 5 has had considerable changes each month or two of this year.

As a general rule, these forums do tend to provide more details about LW's tools for both LW 4 & 5.

Thanks

Back when I started to use Limewire (4.0x), I also queried the lack of a manual. That started a debate as to whether a manual was really needed, with one forum member suggesting that it would take up too much of the programmers' precious time and anyway the help files (and this forum) were more than enough.

As you can now see, a manual for LW4x was eventually produced.

I suggest that you give it a little time for LW5.x to settle down, this will also give the "powers that be" time to effectively to update the manual.

However, with all the best will in the world, software user manuals will always be out of date by the time they become available.

fyi: User Guide was updated to coincide with the 5.2 launch. lw 4 user guide is at the bottom of the page.
