i'd rather use something free that WORKS than something free that has so many problems that it is a pain to use. limewire has way too many problems right now for anyone to actually get what they want from it. and it doesn't seem as if they are very concerned about these problems, either. they only want to upgrade a perfectly good version six months into it before talking to us---the users. then they think they can get us to pay for it. i'm sorry, but i only pay for what works. so i guess they won't be getting any money from me, or any other smart shopper.
