LW freezing up

[koalakid]

Lately I've noticed LW freezing up after a half hour or so of use and the only thing I can do is close with task manager and then restart it when it use to run ok.Also I've noticed a small window popping up on the left hand side of the screen just for a second and then it closes, not enough time to see what it is. Any ideas on what is causing it to freeze up??

OK.
In limeWire go to. TOOLS/OPTIONS.clik on the little blue tryangle next to
Uploads, clik Slots, What numbers are showing MAX & Per Person.
What connection speed do you have. [Post reply]
Peace.

PS. What version of Java are you using + L/W version.

Thanx for helping
I'm using LW Pro 4.12.3 and Java 1.5.0_09 and it's set at 3 uploads per person & max upload slots is set at 20.

How many files are you sharing, & how many files are in your incomplete folder?

Koalakid.
Please answer Question,? What connection speed do you have. [Post reply]
It matters a lot.
If you have 50.KBs UPload or less. Set MAX to 8 or less. unless you have a fast connection 22 MAX is too High.
Also take a good look at the link Lord of the Rings has given you its good advice.
Peace.

mickjapa & LOTR,
I have about 50kbs upload speed and I have 7 files in my incomplete folder at the moment. I say 50 kbs as an estimate - I've never seen it go higher than that.I've just dropped the max to 5 and I'll see how it goes.
THANX.

Incomplete folder, sometimes dosent auto clear prevewed files
so you can end up sharing these files also,if you have partail sharing ticked.
Peace.
