In an attempt to fix this problem, I took drastic action. I installed a new 40 GB hard drive as my startup disk (which I had been planning to do anyway) and reinstalled OS X 10.2 from scratch. Today, the 10.2.1 update came out so I installed that. I then downloaded and installed the latest Limewire, version 2.6, today.

Fresh new hard drive, fresh install of the latest OS X, and a fresh install of the latest Limewire. If anything was going to fix this problem, this surely would, right? Wrong. The same thing happens. Limewire launches and runs for a bit and then hard crashes as described above.

This time, I was actually able to download a few items and Limewire ran for over an hour before crashing. One peculiar thing I noticed is that when I look at items that are being uploaded, many items are being uploaded at 0 KB/s. Even after I "kill" those uploads, new ones appear at 0 KB/s. I wonder if this is a symptom of the problems I'm having.

What's going on here? Is anyone else having this problem? Help!!!
