I've been using the free version of BearShare since the failure of Limewire. The interface is very different but it works without fail and I need a program that will let me go to bed and not have to watch it for that failure. Limewire worked great for many years and I've been using the pro version ever since it started. I don't understand why they are not working around the clock to fix it. In a few more weeks I'll feel at home with BearShare and will be using the pro version even though it cost more because it works. Limewire is just throwing the business away.
