I have the same frustration. I just lost my harddrive and I need to reload LimeWire. I signed and paid a "life time" membership to Limewire back in 2005. I'm using the e-mail address that I would have had back when I bought Limewire and all I get is my e-mail address is not valid. So I have no way to contact anyone at Limewire to confirm my membership and reload the software. And your right ... so why does this dumb Gnutella Forum come up making you think you can get help with LimeWire. If you were able to figure out how to get your Lime Wire back, I would like to know. If not, LimeWire is a scam and I'll be looking for a better source with Support that will help you!
