Hi Lord I voted yes. I do believe it should be avalible for the people who are having trouble with the beta. I think allot of what happend this weekend is that allot of people do not understand the trouble you can have with a beta and for whatever reason do not save a copy of a version that works for them on there hard drive. I have copys LW back to 4.4.2. So if I am testing a beta I have a backup to drop back on if I have to. Also allot of the people who got the new beta are probbaly new to LW and got what was avaliable. Any way I do see allot of positive potiential in 4.9.11 there are some great features in it. Such as the UPnP in previous versions if I was running through the router not port forwarding I had a very hard time getting good connections and very few people could DL from me. With 4.9.10 I was able to get a good connection great search results and more people were able to DL from me but LW would reset my router at times and I would have to manuelly reset it and reconnect. In 4.9.11 this dissapered and I got great connections people were able to start DL from me in about 30sec most of the time I had 10 DL and 10 waiting. This never hapend with 4.8.1 I saw DL speeds of 600+ this weekend never saw that before. And I never got around to testing it without the router. So with the results I saw this weekend it tells me that ther is going to be more files available in the future because LW is doing a better job of configuring itself if a person is behind a router thus making those files available that were not before. There were some down sides and some people had allot of problems but you have to say one thing what a test they will probbaly get more Info from this weekend and be able to fix more bugs due to the fact that the only version available was 4.9.11 than they have gotten on an previous version. Anyway yes it is time make 4.1.8 available until you get the bugs worked out. Looking forward to the next beta though
