I am using pe ver 5.6.2

Actually I got it frum Demonoid. I didn't know about this site at that time.

No it is not the one by file girl though it is tempting to use that one. I am a little concerned that if I switch to that one, I may loose my settings.

It is not super hard to set up, but does take time.

I think they should have just called it "Limewire pe" with no pirates on the screen.

When I first loaded it, I was concerned that I had loaded a virus or something. It is a little difficult for the average user to trust something that says pirate and has pirates on it. Feels like you are being hijacked or something.

That aside.. seems to work fine though in my seeds I seem to get allot of "Invalid request" errors from downloaders.. I am assuming that it may have something to do with firewalls though I have opened a port for mine.

I think the splash screen there is meant to be a bit of a joke. Years ago there was a video on youtube about LW & the splash screen seems to be a snapshot from that: YouTube - You are a pirate

Yes you could lose your settings (though not your saved files, providing that you saved to a safe location & not within Program Files etc) if you switched versions.
If you wanted to switch at any stage, you'd need to back up LW's preferences folder before switching & then replace the prefs folder with your backup, once you'd installed the new version.

If you ever do want to switch, check out this thread for the location of LW's preferences folder & other important info regarding incomplete downloads: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...ng-should.html
Important - if you ever want to replace the preferences folder, LW must be properly closed first. Check in Task Manager... if there's a LW process running, end the process. Replace the folder & then restart LW - your old preferences should be in place

Are these torrent files?

You can check your firewall status within Tools > Advanced Tools. There you'll see whether you're behind a firewall & whether or not you support transfers.

Thanks for the advice.. I'll look into that before I change to another ver.

Not Torents..I use utorent for those.

I really only use lime for music.

I actually did that with the advanced tools to make sure my port forward worked. I believe it may be something on their end as most downloads are fine but certain users are having problems and their file requests are bad. Probably about 1 in 10

It is nothing I can fix as my side seems fine.

I realize the splash screen is a joke.. my point was only that it is not confidence inspiring

Finally the link to my LPE is updated and working...Enjoy if you like it!!!
