I think you have resolved my problem. When on LW Basic I remember seeing figures for Ratio, whatever that is, but on LW Pro there is no sign of it so presumably PirateBay has kicked me off.
Nice one LimeWire a complete waste of time upgrading to a downgrade.
No problem about the cost of a 12 month sub. Just use it as a contribution to putting Ratio on to Pro so it works properly. Back to Basic hoping LW will not mess that up too.
