I hate to add to the bashing of Limewire because it does offer one of the best gnutella network interfaces and It works flawlessly under Linux, but in windows I have had many problems like those descriped here. I believe it is mostly the windows implmentation of Java for Windows But I was hoping that something could be done to compensate for it. The big problem I find to have constently is that the javaw.exe (I believe is the VM server) takes up 100% of my P3 500mhz processor on Windows 2000 Adv Server and uses 90MB of RAM after a few hours of running. It works really well at the initial start but after that it just starts going down hill. I have tried both 1.3 and 1.4 of J2SE. Both do the same thing. Please let me know if I can help in resolving these issue (if you need more info etc...)
Limewire is a great program with a great interface and powerful features. And for the price you can't beat what you get from it.
Thanks,
