I installed the program, went through the learning process, and had no problems until I tried to download some files. Every time I tried to download a file, it seems to be working just fine until it completes the download. The statistics counter is incremented, but the file itself is lost and the computer crashes. Hard. A force quit application command fails to complete so a forced reboot is required.

I am not a regular here, but the documentation says this is the only place for non-pro users to get help if they wish to continue using the program. Thus, if you do have something useful to add towards the solution of this problem, please email me at <james13@mac.com>.

Can you supply more information about your computer? LimeWire requires ALOT of memory on a Mac. You need to set the program memory to at least 80 MB for LimeWire. It will tend to run better. It will still freeze now and then, but it'll work better. Also, you can't run Norton Anti-Virus at the same time. If you don't have much memory available, you shouldn't run any other programs at the same time, either. It's quite the memory hog...

I also found that the newest 2.5.x version doesn't work on my computer. I went back to 2.4.4

Good luck!
