The OSX software available from Limewire is so PAINFULLY slow it's not worth using, as most seem to find.
Attempt to rename it so it ends in .dmg. You are probably using IE to download, it is truncating the name.

Hi Jum I have a question for you: would it be possible to add a magnet link in your ftp to download the newer builds? I assume you are running Lw on your 'puter, it could make faster downloads for jum users because of the download mesh and PFS... Anyway, maybe it's too much difficult for the benefits. Each time I download your build I share it and get dozens of uploads, a distributed system for the jum build would be cool nontheless.

Merci

Also, to remedy a slow OS on X with LW, go to preferences and check disable ultrapeer.

This is definitely a good idea. I will have to look for some code callable by a the command line to be able to automate the generation of magnet links.

OK, so here is my first shot at a machine generated html file that contains links (html and magnet) to the latest versions. I could not test the magnet link yet, so any feedback is welcome.

Allo Jum, you're hard at work! When i click on the link LW starts but in the download window it says "could not download", , maybe the address associated with the magnet is not valid anymore, are you on a static IP?

Edit: LW only use magnet links with an IP address associated to it or domain name.
Exemple: the Trap_Jaw link:

magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:RGIP6VBRQUSKFIEBHHOTNBV2HCHSOC FT&dn=Turner+-+My+Aeroplane+Mania.ogg&xs=http://whitedragon.dyndns.org:6346/uri-res/N2R?urn:sha1:RGIP6VBRQUSKFIEBHHOTNBV2HCHSOCFT

and yours
magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:YNRM2MPJGGYQ2EDT7INNSAKE5KH3UD MS&dn=LimeWire+Pro+3.2.1jum175+OS+X.dmg
