Limewire has just announced publicly that 4.0 should be released around Tuesday May 18. There has been so much improvements and bugs tests that releasing 4.0 will definitely boost the network. The Lime crew is preparing a feature list showing the many improvements that occured.
Last year most work was within the core protocol and the GUI was not enhanced a lot. 4.0 now gives more immediately visible changes for users. The core engine is still being worked on very actively to improve its speed or increse its reliability. The new anti-corruption THEX support will certainly improve swarmed downloads for better download success. Stay tuned... You should see the annoucement by an alert in your servent when it is released and starts being deployed (note that LimeWire versions can be downloaded very fast from Gnutella, with LimeWire itself, as the installer adds itself to the list of shared files).
