Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default Is there a problem with version 4.10.9?

The previous version of Limewire worked without any problem for me, opening in seconds and responding immediately.

But the latest version 4.10.9 that I have downloaded takes about 3 minutes to open, has a long lag on pressing its controls, and consumes 100% of my computer's CPU usage power.

Is there a problem with the latest version?

Try uninstalling Java by going to Start/Add and Remove Programs remove all versions of Java then click on the link in my Sig and choose the manual install choose the offline installer and save it to your desktop. With that done re boot your computer then click on the installer and install Java.

I have done what you suggested, but it doesn't help.

With only the Limewire program running and no downloads or uploads, is it normal for the CPU usage on a Pentium IV to be 100%? When I close Limewire, it drops to 10%. A scan showed no viruses.

NO it is not normal. And it is usually a java problem. When you are running LimeWire open the Task Manager by pressing and holding Ctrl+Alt then press Delete. This will open the task manager then click on Processes then click on CPU 2 times this will arrange processes by CPU usage from most to least. What does it say. And what is your set up.

CPU Intel P4 X.XGhz
How much ram

I am a little concerned that you are using 10% CPU when Idle it should be 0% to 2% the task manager should say System Idle 99% most of the time when you don't have limewire running. Unless you have something else running.

It reads:

processes:
limewire.exe 97%
system idle 3%

performance:
CPU usage 100%

2.4 Ghz
RAM 512 mb

Java 5.0 update 6

With the latest Limewire running, the computer can barely function. With the previous version, no problem.

What could be the cause of this? Has anyone else reported problems with the latest version?

People have reported it with every version of LimeWire and it is a bad install of Java that has always been the cause of it. You can try Java 6 it is a Beta and see if that helps or not. You can get it at the link below.

I tried Java beta version 6 as you suggested, but Limewire would not open with it saying "Java not detected by Limewire". I am back to version 5, but the 100% cpu usage problem persists.

Why should this have started when before there was no problem at all?

I have checked the other forum links, but they are of no avail.

Any other suggestions before I send my money to Kazaa?

I though I'd try the latest 4.12.3 and the latest Java Beta: still 100% cpu usage! As we can see from the forum, this is a widespread problem. What could it possibly be?!

The only thing I can suggest is to try a complete reinstall of Limewire and Java. Delete .limewire folder (it's the preferences folder) your incomplete folder. Uninstall using the uninstall file in your Limewire programfolder (do not use add/remove programs as it may mess up your Limewire). Then do a search for Limewire and delete everything it finds (unless offcourse you have a saved folder for music etc. that you called LImewire...). then press start and run regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software and delete the limewire folder from there if there is one. Delete Java using add/remove programs. I would recommend that you do a malware sweep of your PC. 10% CPU usage isn't normal when not running any programs.

Then reinstall Java using the link Grandpa posted and then download the latest offline installer for Limewire. Install that and pray.

BTW I have had this problem once myself and I got rid of it somehow through something of the above. Now it's running great. Using 4.10.9Pro (haven't tried to update yet)

I recommend using either an old Limewire version without BitTorrent support or Phex for Gnutella, Azureus is BitTorrent. None of this Limewire Gnutellatorrent hybrid crap.

Just curious have you go to NorbiesWorld and posted a hijack this log if you haven't I would recommend you do so just in case it is a virus your AV is missing that is causing the high CPU usage by limewire.

I tried exactly as you suggested. And as before, still 100% cpu usage. As before, Norbie etc have detected no viruses, malware, spyware on my computer.

What in your opinion are the next best file sharing programs after Limewire?

Don't know what the next best thing to Limewire is.

For torrents I would recommend BitComet. Works quite well. I have tried it a few times but mainly stick with Limewire.

Do you by any chance have the installer for the previous version. You could try to reinstall that instead. Maybe it still works great.

That's how I fixed it at first, until it really pissed me off that I couldn't upgrade Was running 4.9.37Pro before

BTW: Just checked my taskmanager

Limewire.exe 1-3%
3 Downloads 20 Hosts 100+ KB/s
5 Uploads 30-45 KB/s

That's probably what it's suppose to look like. Even less than with 4.9.37

Tried Morpheus. Didn't get a good impression, but I have some problems portforwarding my router. Someone else has maybe tried it and got it to work

I hear good things about Phex, but again the portforwarding thing. From what I hear advanced users get more out of it, so it might take a while to get use to.

Did reverting to old version not work ?
