Default LimeWire 3.6.6 Beta

We've just released what we hope is the final beta in the 3.6.x series. This version adds a change to how we return search results -- hosts will now only return results if they have open upload slots. We used to return results if you had upload slots *or* open queue slots, but the new system should ensure that more search results work as expected due to fewer hosts being busy. This change also allows us to improve performance significantly, especially for big sharers.

This version also adds a file on OS X where users had problems with too many files being open at one time. The default limit for open files on OS X is 256, which is significantly lower than for other operating systems. So, with 3.6.6, we will now override this setting. Thanks to Jens-Uwe Mager (once again) for his contributions to this code, and special thanks to Greg Guerin from the Apple Java developer mailing list.

Finally, 3.6.6 adds a new pro-only theme with a special LimeWire Pro splash screen and LimeWire icon within the application.

That's about it for the new changes. Thanks for everyone's help!
