maybe.

If you are on a modem or busy connection, you probably would max out your speeds anyways.

Pro downloads from a few more sources, if available, and searches for more sources, if available.

So, if fewer sources are available for that particular file, or it's only available from slower hosts, you are not likely to see much difference.

btw--this is a good thing, IMHO. I'm glad LimeWire doesn't try to cripple the Free version to make the Pro seem a lot different. I like the developer's idea tat they would try to tweak the code to give Pro users a *bit* of an advantage without hurting others on the network.
