After upgrading to OS10.2.4, I had to go through the clean-out and reinstall sequence four times to get a version that provided a stable platform from which to access Gnutella. It was only twice for OS10.2.5 but all stability vanished with Limewire 2.9.8 until I disabled the ultrapeer option. Even then, performance was so poor that I've turned to other things until 2.3 appears when I will try it again out of interest. But, for me, the fun has rather gone out of it.
