Default other Mac OS X users can not download?

I am the primary admin for the my Apple G4 running Mac OS X and have 3 other users that I have created for members in the household to use the G4. However it seems like I am the only user allowed to launch LW and download files. I have already tried changing their status in the OS X to allow them to administer the computer but that did not solve the problem.

Is there something I am doing wrong or missing?

Is there a way to fix this problem to allow the other users to launch and download?

Default not even the admin can download here...

This is really bugging me-

I paid up, downloaded the OS X version- and have not been able to download ONE single file!

I get "busy.." , "downloading from 0", "unable to download"- nothing else.

I'm going to go look for another client- any suggestions?

Default

in the new os X operating system, multiple users, regardless of their being administrators or not, simply do not own the program that was installed by another user. Therefore, you have to download limewire separately under each user and then you will be able to use it. This happened to me with numerous other app's i use.

some programs, like office X, the best os X app, recognize separate users rights to programs not in their home folders. un mac like programs, like limewire, obviously do not do this. you should email cust support at limewire.
