Version: LimeWire Beta 5.0.11
Pros: Some nice changes. Glad they added a proper chat feature. :)
Cons: I agree with the other user responders earlier, missing information & tools that we all previously enjoyed using. Only gives 10 download slots, whereas previous versions were unlimited. (Unless you backed up a copy of old preferences :p)
Summary: A nice start to a new version, however obviously needs more work. Not sure why they made a beta version the official release. Leave the beta versions for the beta testers & give us the fixed version final releases. :) Images window good but lacki... read more

Version: LimeWire Beta 5.0.11
"Lime wire 5 Still Need More Improvements"
Pros: The search results are better, even though it still display junk, but not as bad as in 4.18.8
Cons: Doesn't always upload search results, for example an artist and only now and then it crashes, and i don't like the interface as it is to complicated to use and there is no user Evolvement like as in the 4.18.8.

"Needs Work, Stick with Classic for Now."
Pros: Easy to use, and some downloads connect more often than with version 4. Social networking features are nice for those who enjoy that sort of thing (not really my thing though).
Cons: An impressive number of glitches, crashes frequently, dumbed down interface, disappearance of features and many preferences options.
Summary: New version, does not mean better. While there are some improvements, they do not outweigh the new program's detriments.
The biggest problem are the frequent crashes. You can expect that if you leave the program running for a several hou... read more -

Version: LimeWire Beta 5.0.11
Pros: easy to use, not too much else that's different
Cons: you have no access to the preferences menu when you're using a mac, a major minus as you can't change a thing about the program. Can't ask a question about the new program without paying for pro, which gives very few bonuses for the money you pay
Summary: not worth it right now... I might try it again when they release a newer version but for right now I'm sticking with Limewire Classic read more
