Do you remember if you restarted limewire anywhere between 6:30PM EST and the time you received the notification? We found a bug where the update only works if limewire hasn't been restarted.

If you are feeling adventurous and want to help us test this out better here's what you can do:

1. Turn of "Connect on Startup"
2. Shut down LimeWire
3. delete the Documents and Settings\<user name>\.limewire\version.xml file
4. delete the Documents and Settings\<user name>\.limewire\.NetworkShare directory
5. start LimeWire, but don't connect yet - let it load all shared files
6. connect to the network.

What should happen is LimeWire asking you to restart itself upgrading to a new version. Let us know if it works.

Thanks for the help!
