LW stops responding on cancelling downloads
 

I am using Mac OS 10.4.3 and my limewire was working fine until I upgraded to the 4.9 version. Since then every time I try to cancel the download of a song I have already chosen, the program stops responding for 10-15 minutes. And if I select many songs at the same time to cancel I might as well take a nap because that takes hours. Has anyone experienced similar problems or have a suggestion how I can fix this?

I've had this problem for the last year ... since I've been using limewire, but only for a maximum of three minutes or so and that is after Lw has been running for several hours and doing a lot of work.
Btw the display stops responding but afaik uploads and downloads continue unnafffected.
