i run my ad/malware checker weekly, my computer has 61 gigs of available space and 512MB of RAM. i just updated my java the other day. i don't know what is going on ~ i've used the program on a friend's computer that has the same RAM but less space and Limewire runs just fine... i have a 1.2GB/sec connection and i've used limewire on a 36k connection and again it worked just fine. really weird....
