Hi all

Hobo, I was curious so looked up my old Pro records. The discount has been around for a few years, even before LW moved its price from 9.50 to 18.88. Back in May 2003, the discounted renewal for LimeWire 2.9.10 was 7.50

Thank you for supporting LimeWire in the past! Please note that your PRO download page expires shortly. We hope that you will continue to support LimeWire by renewing your LimeWire PRO for another 6 months.

Your support goes toward the continued development of open peer networks such as Gnutella. For a $7.50 contribution, we will provide you with a new version of LimeWire PRO and activate a new personalized download page which will allow you to download LimeWire PRO updates for another 6 months.

Please take advantage of this offer by visiting your special upgrade offer page:

Note that you can now buy LimeWire PRO on CD. Just visit our download page if you are interested.

Time is running out to download updated versions of LimeWire PRO with your personalized download page. Users of version 2.5.5 or earlier must upgrade to get new GWebCache connection establishment capabilities. We recommend that all users upgrade to the latest version.

Version 2.9.10 of LimeWire is currently available. There have been great improvements recently in the ability to search for rare files. As the next few releases role out, more improvements will be seen with searches and downloads. We are already seeing some payoff with a quieter network and better rare searches. Gnutella technology is rapidly improving!

For your records, your current download page is:

As you may know, LimeWire PRO is currently priced at $18.88 and may undergo further increases. As a loyal customer, we are pleased to offer you LimeWire PRO and 6 more months of free upgrades for $14.50 . We foresee major improvements over the next few months. .
SpineyNorman, as the originator of this thread, you should be able to edit the title. If not, PM a mod like Lord of the Rings and he can probably get it arranged.

As far as the Pro page lookup problems, a few were fixed last week. Now that LW has a new web dev, perhaps the Pro page problems and suggestions will we addressed sooner. Actually, I'm a bit disappointed When LW didn't pay much attention to the Pro problems, I was somewhat reassured they they were spending most of their time on the coding folks rather than the business types.
