Never heard of it updating itself automatically. Are you sure you didn't get prompted to update through LW?

Could you supply your details: System details - help us to help you -> Provide these details when you post!!!

hi,
the same thing happened to me. limewire upgraded to 4.14 on its own and everytime i try to pause a download it freezes. the only way i can exit is by going to the task manager and ending it from processes (which isnt too good is it?).
1. OS version - xp
2. firewall - mc afee
3. ram - 512mb
4. Hard Disk space available - 18.1 GB
5. Connection type - broadband - cable (100mbps)
6. Where are you trying to connect from - house
7 version of LimeWire (LW) 4.14
8. Java do you have? 1.5.0
9. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? - it worked.

what do u suggest and why is this happening?
thanks

It seems that your Java is a little outdated. Try these fixes.
When Updating Java, be sure to UNINSTALL ALL Older Versions 1st.

Try these fixes.

Try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 OFFLINE version....

If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder/s...
