Well, solved one problem of why limewire was behaving oddly, using up too much memory and this was because in an effort to save my '' Incompletes '' I had transferred the .bak and .download files from my old incomplete folder, to my new incomplete folder i.e. swopped old .bak for the new ones, (Trying to save old downloads after crashes when LWire says ''Sorry cant resume old downloads''
Problem was after a re-build, new disc etc.. I noticed TWO incomplete folders on different drives, after some research on forums found that you can change address of 'Incomplete' folder in the .limewire PROPS file in the application data folder, tried that didn't work ! had some help, from a friend, who went in to the .bak and .download files in my main incomplete, and changed the addresses of all the old files to my new drive !! half the files in incomplete were addressed to my OLD drive, hence LWire opening another incomplete on my old drive letter.
Very confusing !! Now it's behaving very well ! HOORAY !!( And only 1 incomp[lete folder'
Still would like to know what the ''Evil host bear share'' entry is in the .limewire props folder??? and also if anyone else has a slowdown or 'freeze' when browsing a host with thousands of files????/
All the best from a relieved N2
