Most of the older mac computers used the equivalent type of ram to pc's. If you know of any old ones sitting around you might be able to increase your ram somewhat. 192 MB is not a lot for OS9.
Why not set up your own custom extension set. Include only the net extensions as suggested. Let's get the thing connected without issue for a start. You do know how to do this don't you? LW doesn't use extensions or control panels. A Preferences folder is the only item that gets put into the System folder. In list mode you'll find it at the top of the list called [b].limewire[b] It might be an idea to trash this folder whilst LW is closed before you proceed.
What type of connection do you have? Might I suggest you disable Ultrapeer capabilities. Go to LW's menu Tools>Options>Speed & tick Disable up cap. & press the Apply button.
Just for a start, have minimal shared folders. Say with a total of no more than 50 files. When I used LW in OS 9 a couple of weeks ago, it took forever to load the shared folders (over 2 hrs.) Whereas in OSX it takes about 10 mins for more shared files.
Um.. you 'might' also try going to Tools>Options>Advanced>Compression & ticking both the options & pressing the Apply button.
Hope the image below helps. The Speed>UP setting is from OSX so it'll look a bit different. The Tools>Options>... is where to find these items. Tick the Disable ...Compression & press Apply button for changes to take immediate effect. |
