javaw.exe 100% usage
 

I was reading other posts about 100% system usage but didn't see my specific problem. I was using FrostWire fine earlier and then it started using 100% of resources. I even restarted and tried and can't even get it to search. It seems it is javaw.exe causing it. Is this related to all the other problems I read about FrostWire? Thanks.

this will be fixed in the next version and it should be out by tuesday, january 31st 2006. just be patient ;)

using 4.10.5 here... it certainly seems to be capricious about when it takes 100% cpu usage, but have at least been able to restore system functionality by using ATM to cut the priority of the hog thread to something less than Normal. Still the FW window isnt updated very well. Sometimes it behaves just fine; others it just bogs everything down. Oh well, we await the fixes.

Workaround, and a Question
 

[Edit: man I'm really on the ball... posting the same thing... Deleting parts that are duplicates....]

For peeps on XP, just use Task Manager. For peeps on 98/ME find ATM (Another Task Manager) on the web, and do the same thing.

So much for that; now the question: what's the BeanShell for? :-)
Looks similar to a Linux console prompt. What can ya do with it?

The problem is the skin!!! It's a slow process, but you can manage a minute of waiting to fix this.

Go to view -> apply skin -> Frostwire Skin

and tada! I'm so glad it works fast again. The bug must be in the new interface.

didn't work for me

I was also using the older version. 4.9.37 so maybe that helped also. Try downgrading and then changing your skin.

Any news on the next release? I currently don't have FrostWire installed at all, as I am waiting on this release that has the fix.

FrostWire 4.10.5 beta is out!

wtf? who asked?
