I read this entire thread hoping for an answer to the same problem. The only thing that made most sense was to reinstall the older version. However, Limewire doesn't seem to make that readily available. What I did was to go into the "other" Installers" section on their main downlaod table. There you will find a version called MAC OS (no VM). This installs the bare app without messing with your default MJR version. Its been working for me all day!!!! I also trashed all traces of the old Limewire app to be safe. Try It! Good Luck!!
