Limewire Pro vs Basic Hi, Can anyone tell me what the difference is between Limewire Pro and Limewire Basic. I have read the blurp on the website, though doesn't really give me much. In particular, I was wondering what the "turbo-charged download speeds" actually are. Currently I am downloading a 400mb file and only getting speeds between 5KB/S and 20KB/S. I have been to the FAQ only to find... "Q: What's the difference between LimeWire BASIC and LimeWire PRO? A: Lime Wire offers two versions of its software: LimeWire BASIC, a free version, and LimeWire PRO, which is available for a one-time charge of $18.88. The purchase of LimeWire PRO gives users better search results, turbo-charged download speeds, connections to more sources, a guarantee of no ads or nagware, a special PRO only skin, personalized support via email and free updates for up to 6 months. The purchase of LimeWire PRO also helps to support an open-source movement that doesn't support itself by sneaking unwanted software onto users' computers. " Hopefully it is a simple answer or someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks S |
If you download from multi host sources you get more with pro hense increased download speed depending on your sourses . I belive 10 instead of 8 for a DSL connection ..It depends on your speed, but if you have a slow connection speed you will not see much or any improvement with pro. Turbo charged connection is improved but ..well not HUGELY :) If you connect as a leaf you connect to 5 Ultapeers instead of 3peed. This will help you get better results for rare files Lastly $18.88 is a small amount to pay for a brilliant application and even if you do not get great improvements ..you will be happy to know you are contributing to development costs :) To be clear the 18.88 does not entitle you to support for life .... just 6 months but a pro application will remain working indefinitely. Lastly if you have problems running basic, upgrading t pro is not going to solve them I hope |
Thanks for that. |
the skin is boring. Just incase you were going to get it for that. lol |
I have been a pro subscriber for the past 2 years .3 weeks ago i am getting a message on my computer I got a bug ! and can not get rid of it well it is telling me to send it to bugs@lime wire.com is there such thing because i keep send ing it and it keeps coming back undeliverable ! also i have tried to get help from lime wire and no one is responding back .it seems they only respond back when they ask for the $18 for upgrades but no other suport ! not too happy ! has anyone else have the same experience .that they can share ? |

I have limewire Pro 4.18.8 and There isnt much difference between Basic and Pro. Limewire( basic) versin 5.0.9 is way better. Im still sticking with pro |
Hi does anyone know why the extension on the file changes to m3u when I save a file? |
How are you saving it? m3u is a playlist file, not an actual audio file. Just a simple document. :) Can you explain the process you are using & at what point you are doing this, which LW window you are using, etc. |
Mp3 File Hi good morning, thank you for your response. I will just search the song and when I find what I want I just go to the bottom and click the save button and tell it where to downlaod it. I tried to find a place where it can easily be downloaded to other web pages. I just don' thave hte hang of it yet. I really appreciate your help I will write it down because I think this happened to me before and I don't know what I did,:o thanks so much |
