For a start limewire 2005 is offered by scam sites. I personally don't know whether their version is a variation of LW or else they make you pay for LW's basic version. The latter is what a lot of scam sites do. And limewire 2005 is just one of them. They don't really offer support, instead they send you here. We can only take pity on those people who pay so much for scam versions of LW. For a full list of known scam sites found via this forum or others see: Known Scam Sites (click on link) (there's new ones showing up all the time!) BTW some scam sites make you pay per mth or charge you per song or continue charging you without your knowledge. After all, these people have no morals. They're simply after your money. They also generally charge you thru the teeth for what you can get for FREE!

The differences between LW basic & pro are only subtle. There's no dramatic differences. But yes you do connect to 5 peers instead of 3 that basic does.

What I'd recommend is stay away from the scam sites & start off with LW Basic. Get any small issues sorted out if there's any & if you feel happy & confident with it, then consider getting LW Pro. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml Get it thru the official site & you'll have no problems. Then you know what you're getting! LW does have some mirror sites for downlding but best advice is to start off from the LW downld site!!!

Oh the LW support means if you have any problems, you can email their pro support team to get assistance. You can update your version of Pro over the 6 mths. After that you're stuck with the version you have but can keep using it for as long as you desire. Else get basic or renew your pro registration.
