Launching
 

I just started using LW yesterday. It seems to run fine and download to library OK. My problem is that when trying to launch a file nothing happens. No errors, no lockups, just nothing. If there is something else I need to do it is not apparent to me. I have an iMac B 8.6 using NS 4.78

I run os9.1 and it seems the freezes that will come every so often (lasting about 25 to 20 seconds) may be the result of some type of connection thing. After the freeze, I can usually see that some of, if not all the connections have dropped. I use the program all the time and my real only complaint with it is the successfull download percentage is sometimes low. I also liked the ability to download multiple versions of a song or file in hopes that one would lock on. I'm on a dsl modem and sometimes the downloads are slower than other peer-to-peer networks. For the most part, I like your program and am thankful for the work you have put into it.

PS. Why is the download speed so much slower than....say....Napster?:p

Re: Re: system requirement?
 

This is very interesting. I had exactly the same problem (I'm on OS 8.6 (swedish), on 266 Mhz G3). But yesterday I downloaded 1.6d (which I guess is new right?) and now it starts OK. But it will not give me any reliable connections. Every host I connect to is dropped after a few seconds until I'm unconnected.

Are these problems related? Did it quit in the earlier version because it "saw" there was a problem, which it doesen't see now?

I really wish I could use LimeWire. It looks nicer then the buggy Mactella.

Re: iMac user
 

Try Mactella (http://www.cxc.com/). It's working OK on my Mac (OS 8.6, G3). It's not very good but the only Gnutella-application I can get to work on my computer.

No problems here
 

Just thought I'd add that I have had no crashes so far running the latest version of limewire. I'm running 9.1 with 192mb ram with virtual memory enabled. Everything's been great except for the fact that uploads are interrupted every couple of seconds. Things are very stable for me.

I get those same freezes with Limewire. Lombard Powerbook, 9.1. I guess we'll just have to wait for OS 10.1 and then upgrade.

Is your MRJ up to date? I too have limewire running on a lombard w/ 9.1 and have never had a single crash. Are you using some whack *** extensions that are causing problems?

error type 11
 

The first time I ran LW it seemed pretty solid functionally, but cosmetically when I would switch switch back and forth between tabs I would lose more and more parts of the window, until I was left with an empty window. Then, and every time since, when I restart the program I am met with type 11 errors. I've rebuilt the desktop and all that several times, but it still won't start up, even after a fresh installation. After reading the above posts I'll up the memory and see if that does anything, but this is a pain in the butt.

its true this program freezes often..I find the less I ask it too do at one time the better results I get. LIke dont do two searches at once...dont add files to yolur incoming list while a search is still going on..things like that..

Im glad to hear about increasing the memory..Ill try it..also looking foward to osx when the more important graphics apps get up to speed..untill than
i guess were stuck with this mess of a p to p..what are the alternatives??

Re: error type 11
 

Forgot to mention I'm using a G3 clone with 9.0.4. Upped the memory allocation and was able to finish the setup procedure, but then encountered the all-too-familiar type 11 crash. I got a copy of Mactella, and while it's more like a VW, it runs fine for me.
