Default Gnotella connects - but still locks up after each mouse click

Using Gnotella 1.0.5 for some time now and it worked fine but seeing problems now.


Gnotella connects fine and is uploading and downloading just fine. Clicking on any button such as "Hosts", "Out", "In", "Find", etc works to bring up that window but then Gnotella is frozen and ignores mouse clicks for about 30 seconds to a minute. After freezing stops, I get to work on that window and can enter values for various inputs. If I Choose a button ("Hosts", "Out", ...) then the freezing cycle repeats.
Also, when I choose the "Setup" I get the popup window but mouse clicks are dead of course but I can use CTRL-TAB to change the tabs and then use TAB to cycle around and change inputs.


Ok, I now have done these things that I read in earlier posts:
1. I removed the limeware connection
2. I added the bearshare connection
3. Reduced HostCacheSize from 5000 to 500
4. Down sized amount of files to less than 100 or so
5. Unchecked "Look up Hostnames" in Appearance tab.

But still I have the freezing problem. Can someone suggest anything else to try.

FWIW, I installed Morpheus and Gnutella but honestly neither are even close to the features and ease of use as Gnotella. I'm sticking with Gnotella as long as possible.

There is supposed to be a new hosts.txt and a Gnotella beta that was at one time available on the Gnotella.com site. Has anyone got one or both of these as I would like to get both. Aren't these available for download anywhere?
