The last few weeks have been hell
 

These last few weeks it seems that everyone is having connecting problems. I am a paying customer and the reason I paid is because I wanted to have the quality of turbo charged. Now the best connection I can get is poor. I have tried everything that has been suggested. Lime wire has been really good to me up until now, I don't mind paying more money, when I pay for something I expect it to work, plain and simple.

I have windows xp

Adsl 100 mbps

and have tried corrective patches.

Lime Wire if your having a problem just say so and fix it, dont pass the buck.

Wait, before anything, I'd like to know what you're paying for? Are you paying for Pro (downloaded at www.limewire.com , the official LW site)? Or are you paying for some kind of lifetime membership (in which case you got scammed)?

I paid six months ago and was working fine until now. Always had turbo charged.

Well, it seems that my connection doesn't get any better than good these days (some times it will po Turbocharged for a variable period of time, but it go down again). My opinion is that as long as you can search, then it's fine. If you can search with Poor, you'll get less results (probably) but you'll still get them. And so, you'll be able to download.
If you want, you can try using a beta version to see if your connection will be affected.
