hi oliesharp

Can you help get more info about the freezing?

One of the known problems with java and OS X is that the display becomes unresponsive if the OS X Virtual Memory get too high. Could you open the Activity Monitor in the OS X Utilities folder and look at the Virtual Memory size for LimeWire the next time this happens? If the VMem is over 1 GB, that might explain the freezing.

More info is also available from LimeWire's Preferences->Bug Report, where you can click on the button to generate a sample bug report. This will give lots of info about the LW settings. If the button doesn't work because the GUI is frozen (mouse arrow becomes a spinning beachball), sometimes waiting five minutes allows the mouse to work again.
