Perhaps some generous small time software dealers might.

I don't work for LW nor does this forum belong to LW.org.

You paid for a software, you received it & had multiple years use of it, your support finished. Do you also want a free replacement for your TV you bought ten years ago? woot

Older LW versions are not available because the Gnutella network goes through changes. Allowing older version software of any gnutella client to still be available when it's behaviour is detriment to the running of the network is not in the best interests of the users as a whole.

LW's recent forced update was also due to this reason which was explained to us by their employees.
