limewire pro advantanges
 

I've been using Limewire basic for a couple of months now and I keep seeing the Pro version option telling me about faster downloads and more connections. I don't mind paying for the upgrade,but I just want to understand HOW exactly it enhances the speed and connections before I do it. There's nothing that really explains the details that I can find. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. (I have a broadband connection if that matters at all)

Hi Mayhem. Pro will connect you to more ultrapeers if you cannect as a leef .. 5 as opposed to 3 for basic, and downloading from multiple hosts allows you to download from 10 instead of 8. These will in theory give better search results and download times. The difference is not hugely dramatic, but if monitored closely will clearly be seen There are many differing opinions on how much better pro is than basic, I personally believe it is better, and I am happy to pay the $18.88 if only to contribute to the development costs of Limewire and get rid of the pro upgrade reminder :):)

well, i was downloading at 4 or 5 kb/s and after getting Pro, am still at 4 to 7 kb/s. i see no difference still super slow. i have a modem connection. i think still too slow. ANY HELP ON THAT IS APPRECIATTED!!!!

eagle145,
Read the last post in this thread:

(It talks about slow connections)

eagle... are your downloads showing in the download window at 4-7 kB/s or are you reporting the speed in kb/s ... There is a huge difference:)

7KB/s (kilobytes) is equivalent to 7x8 = 56kb/s (kilobits) which is in fact the normal modem speed.

If this does not make sense, please let me know and I shall try to make it clearer.
