newbie question
 

it seems that if i leave the computer, or hide limewire, at some point everything seems to freeze and activity stops, i.e. uploads and downloads are interrupted, and when i look at connections, they are there but there is seemingly no activity. would a screensaver or sleeping monitor affect this?
thanks b

I have seen this happening if LimeWire runs using the 1.3.1 JVM, the default for the official distribution. I have never seen this happen with the 1.4.1 JVM.

how can i tell which version my system is running? i am using jum's latest build. thanks

Well, my builds do run under 1.4.1 if the java upgrade is installed via the software update control panel. Assuming that you did do that, do you have other net access when this happens?

well, i'm beginning to wonder if my cable company is limiting transfers somehow, although i don't really know how that works or what their policy is...
