Missykittie,

Sorry for tardy reply, but I'm out of town and I using a very unreliable and slow connection.

If you haven't already updated Java as recommended elsewhere, and still want earlier versions of limewire, we will have to work out a way to get them to you. Since I don't have a website, I obviously cannot post them there. The only thing that comes to my mind is for me to post the files on usenet in the alter.binaries.mac.retro newsgroup (or some such group). This is a nice, neutral and anonymous location. The only problem is that I will not be able to post them before the week prior to Xmas. (At home I have a reliable broadband connection.) IF this is acceptable to you let me know. I will NOT leave you hanging. I will notify you a couple of days before I post the binaries and they will remain posted for 10-14 days (the average retention period).

missykittie,

OK. Stay tuned.

(I assume you are familiar with the Mac news groups on usenet and with downloading binaries.)

Missykitty,

Well, I made it home and just uploaded LimeWire 3.6.6 to alt.binaries.mac.retro. Depending on your usenet service provider, the file should stay up for the next few days to as long as 3 weeks. If you have problems downloading the file, let me know so we can come up with another way to get the file to you. If you successfully download the file and find that you want an even earlier version or a still later pre-4.x.x version, let me know and I can let you know what else I have (appox. 8 in all). Keep me posted on your progess. I hope everything goes well. You have patiently waited for this and I hope the wait was worthwhile.

Chulo

LW 3 or earlier is not good for the network. The reason your LW 4 freezes is probably due to Java & ram allocation. Have you tried increasing the ram allocation. Yes I do have more than one version of LW 4. But I would certainly not give away earlier versions. It would be irresponsible "for me as a forum mod" to offer such versions.
