Hey Blade Blade
I just posted the same reply as a reaction to your reaction on what i wrote, but i'm posting it here as well, hope you don't mind!
Ive searched the net for solutions for the problems we have with the new limewire version, but there don't seem to be any. Even with the new java etc etc it still doesn't make a difference for me. Its a sad situation indeed. I've even read at forums that people with the ibook 10.3.9. who used the new limewire that there comp. now have a memory leakage. Scary!
There are a few things to try out though. Do you have the new java version yet? If not try that. You could also try and download the beta version. This info i got from 'lord of the rings' that on
http://www.mager.org/LimeWire/ you can download a beta version & choose the nightly builds link.
This unfortunatly didn't work for me. What did work was throwing my new limewire version away (all of it) and then i downloaded the 4.9.27 limewire version on tucows.com . Now limewire works as it did before i got the lw 4.10! I'am quite releaved now. Maybe you could try using an older version as i do now.
Good luck to you! Hope you'll fix it!
