How to Get Limewire Pro for Free
LimeWire is a good person-to-person file-sharing utility, but there are complaints from everywhere in the world about viruses and faulty files on the free LimeWire Basic version. The fear of viruses forces people who like LimeWire to look for alternatives. If LimeWire is your favorite, you can get LimeWire Pro (the version that people pay for) for free.

Notice a system folder where torrents are kept will open. If the system folder that opens isn't the one where you save the LimeWire Pro torrent, then navigate to it and then click on the torrent. Once you click the torrent, another window opens to give you the option of downloading everything contained in the torrent file. For some torrents, like music albums, the songs, playlists and the album covers are included in torrent files. Just check everything you want included in the download and then click on "OK." This will begin the download. Wait for download to complete.

Right-click on the torrent to delete it from uTorrent or allow other users to leech it from you the same way you got it. Be warned that leechers could slow your computer (you're advised to delete the file and exit uTorrent).

Find the folder where the LimeWire Pro application file is kept (the same folder where the torrent is) and install the application. Follow the directions in the Installation Wizard and LimeWire Pro will be yours, free of charge.
