Yea I'm sure your not the only one that is Frustrated. DON'T Pay for Pro If Basic doesn't work for you.
There seems to be a lot of problems with the Later Versions of LW, but you need to take the time to Read the Forums as most All of the issues have been discussed Many Many Times.
If you are interested in trying something different, Take a look at Phex. Its not quite as simple as LW, but might be very rewarding in the end. See Phex in my Sig.
If you continue to have connection problems, then post your system details here.
In this thread you don't exactly note what the problem really is, You just say that this is a Crock of Sh!t, so I'm just guessing.
