Hi Alexandre

TOOLS/OPTIONS are called Preferences and are where'd you expect on OS X (under the LimeWire menu). Reduce the upload settings to ~85% of your connection speed, and that should take care of the 'freezes' on startup.

set Upload Bandwidth setting to 22KB/s which is 207/8*.85 to get the your KB setting.

btw--sounds like too many connections were causing a "freeze" not a crash (unless a crash report popped up). Whatever, it's time for a safe boot to make sure the system is OK. Just restart the machine and hold down the shift key, then restart normally.

Once you're happy with how LW is operating, quit and replace the new Incomplete folder with the old, and it should resume many of those almost complete files normally. Delete the 0KB files to cut down on the number of unecessary connections that are swamping your machine.

Cheers
