Default LW Pro worth it?

I am currently using the free version to try before I buy. I am happy with LW, so now I want to know what you guys think who have used both... Is it worth upgrading to Pro? Is it really any better? Thanks!

If you have had Basic and you have it running perfectly going Pro can have it's benefits....Instead of connecting to 3 Ultrapeers with Pro you connect to 5, this can increase search enquries...Also with Pro you can connect up to 14 hosts, which can increase your download speeds...

As WW already posted, LW Pro has the potential for faster d/loads and better search results, but unless you have a really fast connection you aren't going to notice much of a difference. Search results should be a little better, especailly if your looking for rarer files.

Most of us consider buying Pro as a donation towards the developement of LW.

Is it safe to buy LW PRO over the internet using credit card?

You can d/l it as many times as you like from your personal d/l page for 6 months. After that you'll need to purchase it again if you want the updates. Hope this answers your question.

use the free lw and search for **** when you find d/l it, it will be an older
version but works really well, it will install over your previous version
