Dont upload this, took 4 days to sort out, and had to format!
 
I think i found a bug?
i am not sure but please be aware of the nanny mcphee scotto !
i downloaded it and my computer went mad,
i couldnt get on to internet explorer it kept saying page could not be displayed?
and i couldnt del file too,
had to re-format windows to get rid of it,
i tried to update windows it wouldnt do it?
i tried to reinstall internet explorer but it wouldnt do it,
and it took 4 attempts to format the hard drive too.
it may not be of interest on this page but i just thought i should warn you.

I dont know what that is but Im guessing its not a bug but a virus. I suggest you use a anti virus program while downloading, wrongly named files can contain viruses/trojans and worms too and please refrain from posting titles. I suggest you scan your system with a good AV from now on or, you'll be reformatting everytime you get a virus. and becarefull what you download, pirated software contains the MOST viruses. thats why these items are free to dl from Gnutella because they are usually infested. good luck.

i do have a good av, i have avg but it said it was ok, it wasnt a virus i do know that, all i know is it knocked out all internet explorer! sorry for posting title i just wanted to warn others about it, as it does say its a video file but its not some how ?
i only had to format due to the fact that i couldnt update explorer or anything to do with trying to get it right, i baught my lime wire i am not on the free one, i paid for pro from your site 3 days ago because of all the bugs i was uploading and not knowing about them till it was too late.
thanks for your help

Maybe I should have asked you the obvious question? WHERE did you get Limewire Pro? Because the ONLY place to get it is at this URL: www.limewire.com and it ONLY costs 18.88 in US dollars and the REAL Pro IS NOT buggy, nor would it harm your computer. I just wanted to clerify that. If you go t any other website to buy it you will have been scammed/conned and paid for a fake/hacked version of Limewire Pro.

Yep there's scam sites that offer hacked versions of LW that may have spyware, adware, virii, etc. See WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! or just make you pay & they give you links to the Basic version which is free from the official site: Membership? - **WARNING ** - Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites

forgetmenow November 5th, 2005 02:02 PM

yes i got it from limewire.com it was $18.88, and it gives me a recipit, that i have here, i paid via paypal and on recipit it has made payment to lime wire llc. contact email coustomer@limewire.com ect with phone number on the bottom.
so if its a bug free one how come i get bugs?
have i set it up wrong?

If you use the Resume/Find Sources function on all or too many of your files at one time then LW will definitely use up all of your computer's resources & probably also the net's bandwidth. Don't use this function if you can. See the following link & follow “ALL” the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help: To continue files downlding (click on link) Even browsing host can help continue files ... to restart them downlding. Direct connect the same effect.

Sphinx November 6th, 2005 06:23 AM

Then there's no bug with your LW because if there was, you wouldnt be able to download. ;)
