People actually buying pro? how many people in here that has pro actually purchase it? cause u can dl it with the free verison so i don't see how LW makes money |
Well yeah, as others have said, Pro is more like of a donation. Little changes accur between the Basic and the Pro version (someone like sberlin will be able to tell you more). It rather depends on wether you consider LW a good application and are willing to help it advance by buying Pro. That, and the LW people have a hen that lays golden eggs... |
It's good that there's really not much difference between Basic and Pro, and I agree with Murasame (I'm on my 4th Pro) that it's a donation to encourage the development. I donate BECAUSE I don't have to :) and I hate being a leech. You can even build your own version that could be as good as Pro The cash also rewards quite a few open sourcers who help out the project. See http://www.limewire.org/awards.shtml for how they are also thanked. [btw--the page is quite out of date just now and is being updated soon, I hope] So--LW even uses the cash to back up their gratitude. That makes me trust LW probably more than I should :) I'm even starting to think the LW folk take this message seriously Quote:
Yep--it's a good project that feels good to support. I don't know how they keep up with the costs, but it works |
Don't you get connected to more sources? |
Yes--when connected as a leaf. If you are running as an ultrapeer, then you are already connected to many more sources. Pro advantages can change with each release, but frankly when running as an ultrapeer, I really don't notice much difference. see what some of the coding experts have to say http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...=&postid=86557 |
