Even though I posted that funny reply, I really think it's a shame
that certain groups can clap thier hands and stomp thier feet
and stop great software from being used.

You got ripped off, no P2P program costs money. There are still quite a few out there and most search the same networks.

Your missing my point.... P2P programs are FREE, there is no fee to use any "legit" P2P program, if you paid you got ripped off. Think about it, P2P is "technically" illegal, so how can you be charged money for something that is illegal?

:nope:

I got a free version of LimeWire Pro.

In my opinion, paying for a P2P program is retarded.

no one uses eMule?? The only downside to emule is that it costs money since you have to buy new hard drives to hold all the stuff you'll be downloading... :D

i started using emule when minmx was destroyed by the empire. since then i have had nothing but problems. maybe unrelated, but an odd co-incidence.

are you all thick???? just insall the limewire free version and do a search for limewire pro and download it, run the exe thru reshacker to make sure its not a virus then install pro, if anyone ever pays anything more than the electric bill to use a p2p program then you are a complete a hole.lol. hahahaha. paying for something thats illigal anyway. the guy who u payed really must of saw you coming m8.hahaha. sad twat. and emule is full of virus's anything you download of emule is a virus, but then if your using a decent security centre (which obviously your not) then u would know this, again just use Edonkey2000pro. the best there is, no virus's. it will tell u if your downloading a dodgy file. Simple.

I think its more retarded when people say that paying for a program that they use religiously is retarded.

I've used that patch to get it to log in under primary however I can search and it just searches with nothing returning? I've really never been able to get it to find anything in primary connection.. is it a setting on the computer I need to change?

Damn. WinMX won't even connect anymore but Limewire does.

Limewire was also hit and you may find the latest version will have a pay trigger.
