Limwire Is Crap
 

Can't download a thing - paid £20 to download some games have tried dozens of files none of them work, not free and not good - rip off

Limewire is FREE. The Basic version is FREE, & the pro versin costs $18.88 but only if you get it from the official LW site: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

Perhaps you should see Membership? - *WARNING*BEWARE** - Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites

I don't mind paying for it if it would actually work - its a piece of shite !

It's not the program that's the problem. This year in particular has seen a lot of virii & auto-generated spam & corrupt mp3 files being put onto the Gnutella network. This not only affects LW, but affects all other gnutella programs ... & there's a lot of them. FrostWire, Phex, Qtella, Shareaza, Bearshare, Morpheus, Gnucleus, & a long list of others.

Learning to identify what you're after, the size it should be & how to avoid the bad files (including games that are incomplete) will help you to find what you're after. And this is now something we all must learn to cope with.

BTW I answered your other thread, but it's now in the Upload/Downld problems section where it should be.

Lord of the rings posted a reply to you the same moment you sent the first message in this thread.

Clearly you have not read that reply

Now do you want help or do you want to sling abuse.

Please read the links Lord Of The Rings has given you in both threads (well maybe not ALL "Warning Beware":), before posting another mouseful of abuse.

I'm not hurling abuse and with all due respect I'm not a geek and have no idea what you are talking about ! I just want to click on a game, download it and then play it - obviously too much to ask ! McAfee is now busy unearthing no fewer than 5 infected files on my hard disk and I've lost 2 evenings trying to do what the site advised me would take "minutes"

I never said you were a geek!

You said: " I've lost 2 evenings trying to do what the site advised me would take "minutes"

Here I think is the heart of the problem. What site was that? I believe you have gone to a site which has promised you all sorts of amazing things, including games you could play in minutes. Only this site you went to does not make the software that does these amazing things. The site takes your money and supplies you with a version of Limewire which may well be doctored , filled with spyware and in short , probably not the same as the Limewire that you can get for free at Limewire.com.

Limewire does not promise you will be playing games in minutes. It is an application that connects file sharers together, or hopes to. In fact there are more takers than givers, and sadly a lot of the givers upload viruses to the takers.

I could go on but ~I won't. I just hope you have read the recommended links and can begin to understand that your indignation should be at those who sold you this "package" and not Limewire or these forums. You paid £20 for this package and that is nearly double the cost of Limewire pro and infinitely more litterally than Limewire Basic which I very much expect you have in some form or another.

Fair comment mate - it was this site btw

well they do say "Your membership is backed by a 7 day satisfaction guarantee."

and if they won't give you your money back .... well I for one know you were certainly not satisfied.

Good luck!

I havn't had a problem with Limewire
i have been using it for around 2 years now and have found it very reliable
