LW is working fine if we use the connection fixes. As far as the LW company being put on hold due to a court injunction, well the Acquisition developer gets a lot of his code from the LW code. So yes, he will probably be a little stuck for development unless he starts stealing code from FrostWire instead.
But in years past I heard a lot of complaints about the Acquisition Dev. Very arrogant. Does not acknowledge on his site the code he uses from LW. But it's been known for many years.
There are 3 packages that he sells at the site. One is lifetime, are you sure you chose that option?
