Why did you guys decide to omit the bandwith monitor in the bottom left corner. I liked knowing when I was getting a high data connection verses those times when you can't connect to anybody. Please bring that back. I downloaded the 1.8 version and now I wish I didn't.

I agree.

The stutus bar at the bottom is a lot less useful now without information about the number of connections, and files currenly available. Now I'm constantly clicking back and forth between Search and Connections just to get an idea of where I'm at.

At least I still have 1.7 on X (I'm a mac user.)

Until the next update I think I'll stick to that.

I agree

What is the "bandwith monitor in the bottom left corner" ?

On my screen, on bottom left I see the # Counts for Hosts/Files/Available. I don't see a monitor indicating bandwidth. Am I missing something?

why did you put an ad box in 1.8? please remove it. if you choose not to remove it, then remove the playboy ad. my sister also uses this program and im sure she would be offended.

What a way to destroy an already good product. I have been using Lime wire for a long time and have shared 100's 0f files. I too hate the new Lime Wire 1.8 and went back to 1.7 and I will keep using it until they get it right again.

yeah 1.8 needs to get rid of the adds and all that **** that you try to install on our pc's! i liked the bandwidth too! features and performance are whats needed here, not adds, we see that **** enough all ready!

Try looking in the "tools -> statistics" menu. You'll find more detailed realtime information about the network connection there. Just keep the second window/panel up at all times and it will also minimise when the many window is minimised as well.

Just to add.
Is it just me or does it seem like 1.8 runs slower on the Mac OS 10.1?

It relly does not work without it
