The fact is, that the new Limewire5 is a load of crap, upgraded for no good reason and is worse than the previous version. The stupid piece of incompetent developer's crap slows my XP system down thanks to it's using about 50% of the resouces. Also, there is no progress bar, and the search results are appalling. And what's all that install stuff about selecting either a non-sharing mode or a non-sharing mode? If there's no sharing, it doesn't work!

This crock of crap has made my PC useless and I'll shortly be uninstalling it. Good riddance to incompetent idiots. I don't know why, but no matter who I'm dealing with in the computer industry, I keep coming across stupid decisions made by idiots.
And that's a typical rant from somebody who doesn't like the current version. I don't know whether you mistake us for LW employees/developers or whether you just needed to have a good bleat.

The forum offers support to people who're using LW 4 & LW 5. How would it be if we said "Nope, sorry, I don't like that version so I'm not going to give you any advice about that... tough luck... try another one"? It'd be great, wouldn't it?

Get over it. Some people like LW 5, some people hate LW 5. It causes hellish problems for some people & no problems at all for others. Nevertheless - we offer advice if people want to use LW 5. And we offer alternatives if they don't (read my post & you'll see that I had already told varady1 how to revert to an older LW in another thread).

If you upgraded as well as updating, that was a bit stupid - nobody should upgrade to a Pro/paid version unless they're happy with the current basic/free version.
