limewire very slow and glitchy
 

I am having problems with limewire 4.2.6 for Mac OS 10.1.5. It seems very glitchy and jumpy,and at times it will just sit there with the cursor just spinning for 10 minutes at a time and then just all of a sudden,the download will go from 1% all the way to like 30%,so I know it is still downloading,but,I can't search for anything as I am downloading,and when I want to preview the song I am downloading I can't launch from LW.Everything else I am running also seems to be affected by this too. I have a Power Mac G3,blue & white style; 120 GB Hard Drive; 640 MB of Memory.

Do you have the most up to date Java for OS 10.1.5?

See these: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...6094#post96094 (permissions)

Can you tell us about your connection type & devices such as Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?

In LW's Prefs>Speed tick the Disable Ultrapeer capabilities & press the Apply button & see if this improves things.

Also here's some hints: A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities.

yeah,I have the most up to date java.It will start to download the most recent downloads I have going when I open it,but I can't search for anything else or preview then.
