We've released a new version, LimeWire 4.4.2 that should fix this. (I know I said that last time, but this time I really mean it.) The download pages still say 4.2.6, but you'll get 4.4.2 when you download. If you could please confirm for us that this build works, we'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

(And special thanks to Rick for isolating the problem and coming up with a workaround.)
