I have the new version of limewire and it still jumps to the NAPSTER sight
no mater which one I select to download.It's annoying not yo mention I acn't dowload a dam thing until its fixed.

i am having the same problem with napster popping up and no ability to download. i use limewire 4.9 and haven't updated because of the problems others have experienced with the newer limewire downloads. will limewire be able to prevent napster from taking over their site ?

The files you downld do not come from a site. They come from other users like yourself. But yes there are organisations out there such as Overpeers who spam the network with fake files. Well the problem should be fixed with LW 4.12.3 & has fixed the problem for almost everybody except a couple who have posted in this thread. I wonder if they are 'really' using LW 4.12.3
Perhaps deleting the LW prefs folder might help; Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

If you don't update then you will always have the napster problem.

i was just about to panic thinking something was wrong... but this is the CLEAR answer...
especially when trying to download newer releases...

I have solved the problem by updating to PRO Limwire for $20.00.So far I have not had any problems since downloading itn

I hope that was $20 AUD. because LW pro costs $18.88 US. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

u know, with the free limewire, u can just search for limewire PRO and get it for free just like any other program...
