How are they gonna go bankrupt?

They are laughing all the way to the bank.

Income from ads + income from people who buy the product 'on spec' - ie untested.

They have enough reputation now that new users like us will keep on rolling in, and a certain number of those will pay up front. The others will use it for long enough to crop up a few tens of cents from the ad company. Multiply that by the few million users, it's quite a bit of dough.

I think maybe they can live on the interest, and keep coding broken software for the rest of their lives ;-) ha ha!
But seriously, is 2.3 any better?

I think the problems caused by 2.2.4 will probably be around for a while, until everyone upgrades to a version that works.

But, does 2.3 upload when number of slots is set to 1?

Does 2.3 set a sane upper limit on the 'requery' time?

Does 2.3 search for more than 15 s?

If these things are still broken, I'll never bother with LimeWire again, no matter how 'good' people say it gets.
