program has pretty much become useless
 

grr...first of all, it barely shows any matches for searches that have brought up dozens of responses in the past. second, it freezes after a minute or so and wont let me use my mouse at all, rendering the program pretty much useless. i cannot select a file to download it, cannot type in a new search topic, pretty much cant do anything. so, unless i find what i am looking for in the first 30 seconds, all is wasted. I have system 102.6. with 512 MB or memory. have reinstalled the program, turned my modem on and off, and nothing helps. ran perfectly until a few weeks ago. at my wits end here.

Interesting, there is another person with the exact specs and the exact same problem with you.

Try downloading the latest version of Limewire, Jum's version to be exact, which can be found here: http://baghira.han.de/~jum/LimeWire.html
