So, not long after i posted the triumphal news that i was now happily file-sharing on my G4 with 80+ megs of ram allocated to limewire the system crashed. Then it crashed on startup from there on in every time I tried it. I uninstalled and re-installed a couple of times and it still crashes on startup.

If this is working for other G4 users, maybe there is some bad voodoo going down in my system that i'm unable to deal with. However, everything else in the system works pretty much perfectly the rest of the time so I don't think this is it.

I don't know if this helps: even when I reload the program, on startup the last download that I was working on when the program last worked keeps coming back as if getting ready to resume downloading, and it seems to be just when this window opens up at the bottem of the application that the crash happens. I don't know, I'm getting superstitious about the whole thing now, so I really have no idea whether this has anything to do with it.

Anyway, I'm perplexed. Maybe limewire just isn't going to work in this system, as much as I'd like it to and as fond as I've become of that little spinning lime slice. Is it going to be possible to get limewire working with this type of system? If not, can anyone suggest a file sharing app that does work reliably with the power mac G4? I know this is an evil request, and I don't want to give up on limewire, but this is starting to get time consuming.
