Well, I may be out of line, but my feelings on the subject anyway. I purchased the pro version simply to do away with the adds. The main objective here is simply to find and download free files, and unless the new features are going to make that easier then why worry about upgrades at all. You note I said easier, not find more files, since we all know that this is a shared effort, and if the file "ain't" there, if no one is sharing it, fancy features still won't net our booty. I doubt there is no way to make limewire much more effective at finding and downloading files, after all it simply is a portal into a shared medium. I would rather have more people sharing more files myself.
