I can't help but sympathise with obiwan83.

Limewire is continuously selling its pro version to people saying you will experience turbo charged downloads. But far too often we see people upgrading to pro and not having any increase in speed at all.

Then others say it is to do with their ISP or the people who they are downloading off. Maybe, before they entice people to buy pro they should add a comment in stating the fact that many ISPs are now shaping download speeds so there is a possibility limewire pro will have no effect at all. And if you are only downloading at 2-5kbs in limewire basic you are probably one of those people.
