You did not subscribe to a legitimate LimeWire Pro version if you paid £20, because you paid too much for it. The effective prive is only US$18.88, i.e. about £10.68 (with the current rate of 1.7686 USD for 1 British Pound), half the price you paid.

Even with international transaction fees for your credit card, this should not have reached as much as nearly £10.

Most probably you've been scamed, and you have downloaded an incorrect version of LimeWire, possibly hacked with plenty of additional spywares. I recommand you uninstall it, check your system against a good antispyware and an antivirus, then download and install the free Limewire program from the official www.limewire.com web site.

The normal procedure is first to try Limewire Basic for free, and if you like it, you can buy Limewire Pro at $18.88. If you did not use the Limewire.com website to buy your version, there's nothing that LimeWire can do to help you recover your money from the scammer. In that case, you've been stolen...

I still can't understand how users think they will get better programs by paying for a more expensive program that evidently has no recognized support, no user community itself, no recommandation from any other online software review website, simply by following any kind of link they find through random websites found in advertizing banners or in poor web search engines.

Isn't there enough links in Google and major download sites that speak about the official LimeWire or its active communities like this forum?

Don't blame Limewire if you use a version that you have downloaded from an untrusted source.
