I was running LW 2.4 for a while without problems. I upgraded to 2.5 and used it for a while. Then something went snap. I start LW and it comes up normally and connects. I display the status window and watch the host count come up to about 50 or so and then do three or four searches followed by two or three downloads.

By the time the first download finishes [a long while as I'm still stuck at 56K], LimeWire is hogging the machine for 15-20 sec at a time with no keyboard or mouse response. On top of this, completed downloads no longer clear even thought the preference is checked. Limewire gets so unresponsive that I can't close .... I have to do a force quit. Sometimes, that doesn't even work and I have to reset the Mac

I reloaded 2.5 ... no change
I deleted 2.5 and reloaded 2.4 .... no change.
I've also reloaded MRJ 2.2.5 .... no help.

I'm on a 400MHz G3 with 384MB of RAM and 40GB hard disk. LimeWire has been allocated 64MB of RAM and Virtual Memory is turned off.

Anyone have any ideas???
