That works much better than this.
Hope to find a better solution for macs soon.
This system has slowed my mac down - it eats memory. After a few tries all the files that downloads - ends up "could not move to library" - so what's that point of being here. Or it stays in queue. I used to leave my computer on during the night or day when i go to work. When I get home.. if i am lucky - i have got one or two small small files of 20 k's or something... (that is lucky) Mostly... nothing in "complete-folder"
You can't see how many that are downloading the same files..
You can't see how and what exact they are downloading from you. I guess the numbers and searchings are thru the whole network.
You don't get the files anyway - if you do... that was probably a mistake :-)
It is very very slow
Some files are better found at the original place.. like updates and stuff - try the manufacturer - they do have a lot to share.

I hope that LimeWire gets better in the future... But now i guess i will uninstall this ****.
Hello!


Yes LW do eat memory but if you have plenty then that is not a problem.I would recommend the following System configuration in order for LimeWire to function well:

Mac OS 9.0 or later
Java applet reader MRJ 2.2.4(JRE1.1.8) or later and atleast 32MB of RAM assigned to it
320MB physical RAM(Virtual memory turned off)
Broadband connection 0.5Mbit/s or faster


The could not move to library issue sure is a strange one I have not encountered it ever and yeat I am using the latest version 2.8.6 for classical Mac OS.But most of those problems is supposed to have been solved in the next realese.

To see what other people are downloading from you do the following:

Under the Monitor tab uncheck the Enable check mark that lets you view incoming searches instead you should do the following:

Look after a couple of small blue arrow heads at the bottom left corner in the ribbed area of the incoming searches window and double click the arrow head that points upwards and a new window with all uploads and the ip numbers etc that are in progress will appear instead of the incoming search window.If you want to see all uploads that have been made from your computer even after they have finsished then you have to do the following:

Go to:

Tools>Options>Uploads>basic

and here deselect the Auto Clear completed Uploads then click Apply button then OK button and then shut down LimeWire and re launch it for the change to take effect and voila you can now see all uploads that have been made from your computer.

It is very slow?

No it is about as fast as other networks.How fast you will be able to download depends on how fast connection the person you are trying to download from have and also how busy it is.And also ofcourse the speed of your connection.
