Default Re: 2.7 Upgrade a Disaster! How do I get my old version back?

I was running an old version and was relatively happy with it. Then a dialog box came up when I booted it yesterday with some urgent language that told me I MUST upgrade.

How do I get my old version back????
Two things.

First: If you read up two posts above yours in this thread, you will see a link to the older versions of LimeWire. For my own purposes, I keep the previous version in case there are problems in the newer one.

Second: LimeWire goes through a hashing process with your files. It takes some time. During this time, it will run very slow and freeze up. Leave the program running, but Disconnect from the network. Let it sit and do its thing. I mean walk away. It takes a long time. When you see the correct number at the bottom for shared files, it should run normally.
