There is no membership, only 6 months of free upgrades for 18.88 (pro version). Seems to me you have bought something at scam site Please say where you saw that, you've been had! Now be more conscious of your purchases next time...

Ciao

Yes, Kforcat... Please come back and tell us what site you went to where the different 'membership' offers were sold...
And, please mention what other, if any, filesharing programs were also offered...

Thanks

btw, if you just did that 'purchase' a very short time ago, do try to cancel the payment with your card company... As Soon As Possible... As in like Right Now !

Here I am - I printed the sign up sheet when I joined so here is what I see - It was at www.filesharingcenter.com/join2.php

There were the 3 types of memberships I listed above.

It is already processed on my card (like last month) not sure what I can do about that - I sure hope they don't charge me again!!

It pretty much explained that to get limewire - I had to join to be able to get the download

What have I done?? And where are most of you nice people from - the times of the posts are a little squirly ?? 11:02 p.m.?

This site is a scam. What a bunch of you know what Hope you learned to be less naive next time, especially with the marketing they employed on their front page.

Sorry, Kforcat...
There isn't much that you can do... Well, more like nothing, actually...

But, remember, in future do not pay for anything on the internet that you cannot first test for FREE...

The site you visited where they cheated you is typical of this sort of deception... They take advantage of the people who hear about filesharing (and other computer related stuff such as games, etc., etc.) and try to rely on the 'newness' of people...

Now, you are not so 'new' anymore, right ?


Oh... The weird time display ?
You mean in this forum, right ?
That is probably because you are not registered here...Yet

When/if you do register... FREE... than you will have settings to make about your time-zone and other stuff...

Unfortunantely we have been hearing about many of these "information" sites recently. The only place to download the free version of LimeWire or to purchase the pro version is at www.limewire.com . As I suggest to anyone that buys the information, contact your credit card company and dispute the charge.

Thanks,

Cyclocide, the chief moderator here, has been blocking such ads on this site. Just PM Cyclocide with the site address and he can block their ads..

Can't LimeWire at least ask Google to block those sites that are misleadingly using LW's open source, or else ask those sites to clearly indicate where LW is freely available?

You may not be able to block those sites, but surely you can ask them to be clear in their use of LW's name and logo.

It is not exclusive to LimeWire, as I know you know, stief...

It applies to all of the better clients and networks.

I mention this now only to make it clear that it is not only LimeWire being used as a 'tease product' to encourage 'new users' into a trap.

As others have said, read the fine print and you will see that these groups are 'legal' in the letter of the law.
