I recently downloaded limewire for mac(I have an imac - G3 with OS 9.0) and find it runs incredibly slow, even if I keep it running for over an hour! Thought it was a problem on my end as well, but increasing the memory,closing other apps, or reconnecting didn't work. I have dsl so it's not the connection. Can't be bothered to listen to my imac grind in pain anymore, so I won't be using it(limewire that is). Thanks for listening, if anyone can offer help, I'm willing to try.
