I've had the Limewire software for a few months. Everything was working fine until a few days ago when I clicked on a link to upgrade to a newer version of Limewire. Since then there seems to be something wrong with my save file (nothing that I finish downloading is able to be found), also the whole program is very slow and sometimes does not respond at all and I have to forcequit and start over. I don't know what I did wrong, But if there is someone there that can give me some advise or at least point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. If there is a way I can uninstall this software altogether and pay the $18.88 to install Limewire Pro I will do it in a heartbeat, but I'm not sure if this will even solve my problem. Thank You, TJW

Hi dubya

Sounds like LW set a new shared folder--search you hard drive for the name of a recently downloaded file or click on the shared folder in the library pane and use the explore button to find it.

The slow behaviour/force quit is not normal unless you have hundreds of pending downloads, and might indicate it's time for a general system tune up (safe boot/repair permissions/run software update/repeat/restart).

If that's not clear or you need the links for more info, post back with your system specs and someone might have more specific help.


btw--you probably wouldn't notice much difference with the pro--they're subtle. Free is really good--Pro is worth it though just to support the continued development of LW.
