I get the impression LimeWire doesn't seem interested in responding to SERIOUS user questions. I am surprised that a company that receives notice from MANY users of a specific problem would not at the very least acknowledge the problem.

Is there any type of proactive involvement by LimeWire reps and this forum? Is this product so fraught with bugs that they are overwhelmed?

Something so simple as an "information board" would serve to keep people up to date. Simply have a listing of "recognized" problems and the current status/resolution. This would be handled by LimeWire reps staying in direct communications with the software developers.

Resolution of code problems is beyond the scope of this forum. Individuals making suggestions, trying to be helpful, is really just an effort in futility.
