Hi,

On the whole limewire is great, but it's just so slow compared with the OS9 version. Have plenty of memory (256MB), high processor (600mhz), all my other apps run fine as does the OS itself.

Downloading is fast, as fast or faster than other apps, but the actual GUI is sluggish. Clicking on a button will take 1 or 2 seconds to respond, redraw is terrible, especially when collapsing windows with 'windowshadeX' (possibly clashing) in which case all I get is a blank page. Resizing the windows or columns or switching between tabs, forget it.

In comparison Limwire for OS9 runs perfect in classic mode.

Is this just me or is everyone experiencing this?

yes LimewirePro slows down my OSX 10.2.4 the same way. Trying to find the answer myself. Will let u know if I get something Good Luck!

My Mac also running OSX 10.2.4 slows down during certain time periods. The CPU monitor shows lots of activity, but nothing happens. Quitting Limewire helps. Somewhat odd!

I'm having the same problem. Limewire for OS 9 was fast but every click in the OS X version takes 2 to 3 seconds to respond.

Yes, something is wrong with LimewirePro and Mac's OSX. I hope someone finds the answer. I re-installed and trashed everything first, still no change. HELP!!!

Hmmm---have you tried the usual safe boot/repair permissions first?
I know some versions of LW would be slow when hashing the "Shared" folders on startup, especially if you are sharing lots of big files. It would take forever and until I learned to watch the little count in the corner, I didn't know what was happening. I usually keep Process Viewer and Console open to see what's going on. There's a "MIG server died" message that locks up the finder for about two minutes . . . just some thoughts.
What versions of LW are you using?

btw--OS 10.2.5 is out.

yes I did repair permissions and it didn't help. Now LimewirePro is freezing on OSX. the installer lists the version as 5.
Thanks for your suggestions
