    Isn't Limewire supposed to be free?

    In the same manner that K-Lite was?

    No idea, I appeared to have paid for membership of something (not the actual file sharing) - no idea what though. It also included some package for viewing all movie codecs which if I think I had spotted in time would have reduced the price considerably. The membership site appears to have other filesharing software too plus ICQ software and goodness knows what else.

    Edit - just had a look at the site again and it has mountains of stuff including the Bit Torrent (of which people speak) SGG found the site and harrassed me into joining while I was busy with other things.

    All software available for free with links from any decent filesharing forum.

    Very Probably

    This is serious - I may have my Scottish passport revoked.

    Btw, you should keep an eye on your credit card, or whatever you paid with.

    The type of people who charge for free software aren't always as reputable as you might think regarding confidentiality of your banking details.

    I have had more time to look over the site and to be fair to them they do say that the software is available free elsewhere. I appear to have joined some sort of music sharing club with technical support that guarantees to provide all the latest updates and bug fixes plus music news and movie stuff and goodness knows what else.

    All a bit of overkill really for what was needed.

    I shall keep an eye on my credit card.
