Default LW 4.6.0 constantly quits unexpectedly

LW v4.4.0 works great on OS 10.3.8 on my G4 powerbook. I was able to leave it on overnight to complete downloads. However, since I upgraded to the latest version v4.6.0, LW cannot stay open and be left alone for more than an hour. It constantly quits unexpectedly. The setting on my Powerbook has not changed! It did not matter whether I was running something else at the same time or not. Instead, it seems to definitely crash if it is the only program open and the computer is left alone. I tried changing my engery saver options so that the computer does not go to sleep at all, but it still crashes regardless.

Does anyone else encounter a similar problem or have a solution to it? Is this a bug in the latest v4.6.0?

Try a SAFE Boot & Repair Permissions Also delete some of your older incompletes (if you have any older ones) that are 0%. You should do this in both the downld window (click the top of Status bar to arrange with 0% at top or bottom of list), & also th incomplete folder (easiest when LW is closed & arrange the folder by size.) This should help to reduce some of the stress on LW. Also set your downlds for autocomplete & close all windows you're not using. Also hide LW in the dock when you're not in front of comp.

Unhappy LimeWire still quits unexpectedly

Hi,
I went thru repairing the permissions as mentioned, even run a who disk repair, then deleted all the incomplete files that are 0%. But LimeWire still quits unexpectedly. Only it now stays open for 2 hours instead of 1

Is there any other solution to this? I am just waiting to finish downloading my incomplete files and maybe reinstalling LimeWire. Will I lost my incomplete files if I reinstall LimeWire now?

Thanks!

Reinstallling LW for mac means you can install over the top of the previous version or just drag the previous LW folder to the trash. The incomplete files' preferences are stored in files called download.dat & bak & are found in the incomplete folder. So just leave your LW preferences as are, leave the LW downld folder & incomplete folder as are & you can re-install.

How much ram do you have by the way? And how much spare HDD space do you have? I wonder if that's related to your problem.

If you have same problems after re-installing, then try deleting LW's Preferences folder (whilst LW is closed) found here: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

Unhappy LW still quits

well, i tried all possibilities recommended. upgraded to LW 4.8.1. and it still quits after 2 hours. there are no more incompleted files that is 0%. premissions are regularly checked and repaired. i run my hardware utility test. everything is ok with the computer. i have 1 GB RAM. 15 GB HD left. Is the problem too little HD? it shouldn't be as LW had worked before.

Is there any other tips on what i can do to stop LW from quiting every 2 hours?

If a file is waiting in line, i never get to complete my download becos LW would crash and I would lost my position

Thanks in advance for any help!!

how many incomplete files?

Also, OS X logs errors (and gives more details on the crash). If you run Console (it's in your Applications -> Utilities folder you'll see the error details the next time it happens

oops. i believe only the first line saying "crash report submitted" relates to the issue of LW crashing. no other things was log. the rest are from the video app. i was using.

as a matter of fact, LW crashes no matter the computer is left alone without any other running program, or with 5 other programs crunching at the same time.

any other help?

Stief must have temporarily left the scene. From that report it looks like a movie issue. mpeg4 problem. Perhaps not compatible plug-in/codec.

Do you have any LW crash logs that have been saved? Go to OSX>User name>Library>Logs (& possibly CrashReporter folder)
