 With Pro you get: Better search results Turbo-charged download speeds Connect to more sources Special PRO only skin Personalized support via email Free updates for up to 6 months But if your basic is working good you won't see much difference. So its basically a donation or so I've read. I'm also using basic but am considering Pro, though I wonder about the fate of LW.

| I'm with 6_Pac here. I've used Pro for a few years, but think of it as a donation. The other advantages are really not that noticable, but see www.limewire.org to figure out whether the project is worth supporting. |

 I have pro. And mate, dont listen to what people say about it... With respect to 6_pac, I beg to differ; - I didn't see any difference to search results at all. - Downloads are exactly the same (tweeking your ports will improve speed, works in basic and pro) - Doesn't connect to any more sources (i am currently downloading a file that found 284 sources, only connected to 2!) - New skin, BIG WOW!!! - Still has 'nags' in software. When a new version comes out, you get a message asking you to upgrade just as you do in basic... With regards to a donation, REF to post: 'fake sites selling limewire' I was told Limewire is open source thus no one owns it. So who the donation would go to is anyones guess!

| as has been said before, you are not likely to NOTICE much difference (but it is still there), especially if you have a really good connection, like a T3 or better. Are you on a modem connection? Couple of other points: searches connect to more hosts with Pro, so for rare files, you can search more of the network, and should thus get a *bit* better results, especially if that file is just beyond the current horizon. This is a touchy feature: programs that try to search the *entire* network can clog the traffic, resulting in poor performance for everyone. LW Pro allows a bit more, but are ready to kill that feature if it hurts the network (if too many people start using the Pro settings). If the querying is too aggressive, clients may trigger automatic banning. Check to see how many ultrapeers are connected in the connections window to compare Pro and Basic. For modem users, I would guess connecting to more ultrapeers might even hurt downloads, since each connection uses up a bit of scarce bandwidth. Not sure how the developers figured out how to give the Pro modem users a bit of an advantage here. Downloads are NOT exactly the same: connecting to more hosts for the downloads increases your chance that one or two of those hosts will be faster (if your connection can handle more). As a modem user, there's not much difference, since most hosts provide at least a couple of KB/s for their upload. With a T3, though, downloading from 14 hosts (Pro max for a T3) usually means the file comes in faster than downloading through 10 (Basic max for a T3). I can't remember what the modem settings allow. SKIN--I guess some like that option (I use the same one no matter what version of LW), but for me too it's no biggie. Nags? Sheesh--turn the update message notification in the options to major releases only! Unless you are using some OS like pre OS X 10.3, you need to know about those. If not, ask in the feature requests forum to be able to disable those messages. Re who get the money for the Pro:?--it's at least used to reward the open sourcers who contribute to the project, hire interns, and keep several developers working full-time. Not all those million lines of code were written by volunteers. see http://www.limewire.org/awards.shtml Do check out the www.limewire.org page before you decide to start publically dissing the way this open source project is funded. Pro "donations" have proven themselves as a good way to sustain this project, and are way better than the adware model that was tried before. |

| Buy Pro for a measly $18.88 to support the development, and proliferation of LimeWire if not for the added program inhancements. P2P file sharing is all too often taken for granted by its users. I am quite happy to support the LimeWire development team with a purchase of LimeWire Pro. Last edited by mharing; October 23rd, 2005 at 02:52 PM. |

| You should run basic for a while to see if you like it and to work the kinks out of your setup. If your satisfied with it you should consider buying Pro. If nothing else then then to support the further developemont of LW. So anyway I'm going to get Pro and find out for myself.

 limewire pro for dial-up modem users After using LW basic for 2 years, I just got pro. It's a big improvement for my machine. My dial-up modem used to attain turbocharged speed intermittently, but lately it never did. Now "tcs" is standard speed. Also, because my client now gets 5 hosts rather than 3, the searches seem more successful although I can't figure out which files download fastest or why. Sometimes, cable files whiz through while a T3 of the same size takes so long that the host vanishes before the last 4% is completed. |
