Hi again midiw

Yep--there's quite a flea market of stuff some people share, besides the obviously malware and spam. Serial box is a handy way to see what programs are drawing attention, and the links to the homepages are rather handy.

As for getting Pro, you'll not see a difference on a single download. That will be limited by the host and your connection. Pro searches a bit further into the net, so it's a bit better for finding rare files, and if multiple sources can be found, Pro will download from a few more than the Free (if you have the bandwidth).

Still, the differences are not worth the "cost." I keep getting Pro as a way to donate to the project (it's opensource), and it's a way to thank the devs for all the work they do keeping LW Free and open. They do try to give Pro a bit of an edge, but they rightly want to make the Free as powerful as possible.

Cheers
