I don't know why either, but I registered on this forum just so I could ask the same question.



For years I've used & promoted Limewire to my friends as THE P2P app. I want to continue to do so, but not unless this problem can be fixed.

With 4.12 everything worked fine. Now I've updated to 4.14 and after a few minutes Limewire quickly builds up to using a huge majority of my CPU and a large amount of my memory.



I tried uninstalling Limewire, and all java versions, and reinstalling only the newest version of Java (I don't want Limewire if it won't work with the newest version of Java) and then reinstalling Limewire.

I deleted the old /.limewire folder, changed settings to disable ultrapeeper OOB capabilities, as well as the other memory hogging features.

A virus scan & spyware scan found nothing.

It is still happening, and it didn't happen with 4.12.



Whatever changed, it's a problem, and it needs to change again.

I will not use Limewire until I see a fix posted in these forums, or until a newer version is released.

(Thank you for allowing me to use a large amount of fancy emoticons. This almost makes up for the annoyance with this new version...)
