Downlds refuse to reload (click on link) are the main reasons for this happening.

If your system is freezing whilst using LW, then knit a jumper for it to keep it warm. Don't forget the beanie & gloves.

I hope you have at least 500 MB of ram, & at least 75% of your HDD free & defragmented frequently.

Don't use the Resume/Find Sources function on all your files or else this may cause problems with LW using up all your computer's resources.

Try these things:

1. Open your Add/Remove control panel & remove ALL versions of Java listed.

2. Downld & then install the "Offline" version of Java 1.5; Java 1.5 (take the JRE)

3. Delete your LW preferences folder; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included.)

4. Reinstall LW using the "Offline" LW version found here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml (no need to uninstall LW as the installer will uninstall it at the beginning of installation!!!)

* After opening LW, leave it for a while for it to settle down before using.

* Consider purging your incomplete files. Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue!

* Turn Ultrapeer capabilities off. Tools>Options>Speed

* Tools>Options>iTunes>Sharing & disable sharing options!!!

* Disable LW's media player so it opens your default audio player instead. Tools>Options>Player & uncheck option. Always press apply. You'll need to re-open LW for this to take effect however on this occasion.

* Consider reducing both upload & downld bandwidth by about 10-20% each!

If you sense LW is slowing down & slow to respond, close it down. Then re-open it. This should refresh it.

Well, goodbye Lovepeaceguru, if you want to go then go. Farewell! And hope you enjoy the very long queues for any files that winmx is famous for.
