new user in trouble!
 

Hi, I am a new PC user, and joined Limewire yesterday.

I use Windows XP and have ADSL.

I thought I bought Pro as well as Limewire - this is what I got in the "welcome" email from Limewire "Pro Version Upgrade - Movie Codec Pack for a total of £9.97 GBP"

But I keep getting messages asking me to upgrade to Pro.
Can anyone help me in VERY simple language please, I'm easily confused!
Thanks

Hi maggieann,

Please check into the LimeWire Forums for this question:

The Limewire forums are here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/forum...=&forumid=7

But choose your section carefully.
Do NOT post in the Beta section unless your are using the LW Beta version & have comments to make about it.

Thank you!

thanks for this reply, but I'm afraid I got the error message "can't find the page" when I tried to click on the link or cut and paste it.
Sorry to be a nuisance.

Hmmm looks like you got scammed. check this link out. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28751

The basic version of LimeWire is free and can be downloaded here. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

BTW: I moved your post to proper forum.

thanks for this, I'm here now.
Are you saying that I could use Limewire for free, maybe a reduced service, but at no cost?
Forgive what may sound like a stupid question please!

Hi,

LimeWire is free, it only nags you, when you don't pay, but nothing more.

OK, one thing: The free version has only 3 UP connections and doesn't download as aggressively as the Pro version, but it is fully functional and doesn't contain any scam (as far as I know).

LW is open source and GPL, making it to full of scam would result in someone else compiling it without scam, and that would be completely legal.
