i tried downloading version 1.8. unfortunately, it tells me that the installer is corrupt. it does this for all of the Mac versions, including Mac (no VM) and Mac (alt. site) downloads. can someone tell me what is going on?

also, is anyone else still having trouble connecting? i have not been able to get on for a long, long time. i have tried everything that has been suggested, but have had NO success.

Dude,. any luck with installing version 1.8 on your Mac?? I'm having the same problems, if you figured anything out please let me know,. and e-mail would be greatly appreciated. orbitgeo@aol.com

I keep getting the Installer is Corrupt message.What's the deal?

I'm having the same problems.
Corrupt installer on version 1.8 and I've been unable to log on and run the App. I was running on 1.4 and thought I might have damaged it in recent installs, but it looks like there's a MAC problem.

Are you still unable to get Limewire to run?

It runs on the PC side.

I too have this error. To shed a little more light (w/o fixing it though). I can copy the installer to an older Mac, it launches and installs OK. If I then copy the installed directories over that it created, I got it to work.

Otherwise, trying to launch the installer on this Mac complained about 33% into the progress bar that the Zip archive was corrupt. I'm suprised that it would use Zip compression on a Mac but just in case I tried Stuffit to open generic Zip files which it did OK. Then I tried reloading the MRJ component again from Apple. Still no luck.

I was going to boot with minimal extensions enabled but I've spent more than enough time already on this issue (for now anyway, since it basically works now).

Good luck!

I'm having exactly the same problem. Zip archive corrupted, etc., etc.
Very annoying. Any idea when Gnutella will actually fix this?

Same problem here. What is going in?

Sorry guys, but my experience was fine from http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/download

i am running osx 1.1

I think the point of this thread is what dependancies (or preferences) could be out of wack on the Mac that would make the installer fail with an error that seems to point at itself as being corrupt.

As I pointed out in my post, I copied the same file to a different Mac and installed it there and then copied the directories back to the original Mac and it runs (so the installer is obviously not corrupt).

I don't know if I'm having the same problems as you guys but I am having them. Every time I download LimeWire it states that it is a LimeWire document but installs as Netscape Navigator. If you can help please mail me, tlacombe@yahoo.com
