I used free version of Lime for few months. 2, 3,4 KB/s seemed fair for free...finally paid for Pro week or so ago...it's slower than mollasses!!!
Why downloads show 0 KB/s now I don't know...I AM sure it is no faster than free version...what gives??????

(OS 9.1)

The differences between Pro and Free are slight and mostly invisible (except for some visuals), but under-the-hood Pro should find more sources through more connections, and thus increase the chance of faster downloads of popular content. So, I guess it would be very difficult to be sure if the a source wouldn't be found using the Free.

Anyway, Pro claims sound like marketing hyperbole: I think of Pro as a donation.

9.1 eh? Did you see the 'fix' in the sticky thread above your post?
