Hi silentlodger !
Yes, 5.1.4 doesn't have problems with the Apple Java update. Apple optimised the update for their apps, not speceially for others...

But the LimeWire staff reacted well and the 5.1.4 version is ready for downloading since yesterday. Did do a thread on that in french forum, but didn't think about doing it here.
Sorry about that .

Have a nice day
