Hi jum--and congrats on finding the PFS bug.
the magnet worked the second time I tried (first time it found the regular LW Pro, and started that which caused the jum175 already running to quit).

If you happen to have multiple versions of the same app on your disk the one the Finder uses is a little unpredictable. If both apps have registered a magnet handler I have no clue what the Finder will use.

Yes--I was surprised too since yours was running. I'd have thought the active app would take priority. I'd installed the pro update yesterday, then moved it to the root level of the hard drive to take a look at the install.log. j175 was installed in the preferred Applications spot. I deleted the pro update.

i had a fully functioning pc untill a few days ago. i used it to download music a lot.
that machine got kinda f-ed up. so i figured i'd give limewire a shot. i only have
a modem connection, but for the minimal amount of stuff i was doing, it worked just fine. so i uploaded limewire and made a list of music i want (only 7 songs)
and it hasnt even started one of them. it says "awaiting sources" for all of them.
and has made 0 progress. can someone give me some advice??

Read one of the many threads entitled "awaiting sources" in the other sections of the limewire forum.

Try doing your search again after the message comes up.

anther note... I'm running lw on my g-3 266 MHz computer (os x 10.1.5). the best thing for keeping if from hogging my few precious MHz (besides disabling ultrapeer) was to switch the theme from the mac OS X one to the others (3.0 +)

sure. the menu in the program window is annoying, but the simpler buttons, and colors go a long way to speeding up lw's reaction time. If I can use it, read email, listen to itunes and have my web browser open, then, I'm sure you can.

Download the jum verison of Limewire for OS X. It greatly reduces CPU and memory load. You can find it at http://baghira.han.de/~jum/LimeWire.html

OK, this might be a little off topic, but follows my last thread. I dl'd the jum version. when I opended the disk image, the app opens as a folder. (as if I selected "veiw package contents" from a cmm, but I didn't)

that's happened to me on a few dl's, leaving me to scrap them becuase I couldn't get my computer to run a folder. any idea's on how to fix that.

I redownloaded the dmg 3 times.

Let me get this right. What should happen is you dl the dmg. Then you see two items, one folder called "Limewire" and another that says to drag the folder. I think your problem was that you didn't drag the folder. You see, the jum version is built with a drag n drop install, so you have to drag the folder limewire anywhere on your harddrive to install limewire.

nope... one more step.. after I dragged the limewire folder that was next to the "drag this folder" folder to my computer... I opened it.. in it was a read me file and a foler.. in that folder was a contents folder (like one would see if one control-clicked an app and selected 'veiw package contents'..)

there was a thread on the apple sight that said wich files to delete so that finder can rebuild some preferences, but that didn't work. I've had this problem with a few dmgs in the past.

I'm guessing apple doesn't have any quick way of getting an "torn open package" taped back together.... I'm sure it has something to do with some setting or file in my system... (I had done a clean install, but still found this error to occure.) so for the time being.. I'm still on limewire w/o jum.

Then again.. I don't have any problem running limewire, checking email, browsing the web, and listening to itunes.. so I'll live thanks anyway
