funny Firewall behaviour!
 

Hi,
I'm running on os x Tiger and with 4.10.9 LimeWire Pro, and have everything configured correctly to go trough the built in Firewall of my mac. When I start LimeWire, after few seconds of searching through (I let him choose hes own way through the Firewall whith UPnP), during what he indicates "LimeWire has detected aFireWall" (that's normal), the icone finally shows a proper little round earth without any screen, and when investigated, says "no Firewall detected" an the speed rate indicates : "turbo-charged-connection". Well, all that is normal and how it should be. But, after maybe a day or a night of work, if I look again to see what's going on, very often the connection is only "excellent" not any more "turbo", and the icon indicates : "LimeWire has detected a FireWall", and also shows a screen in front of the round earth. Of course, I just need to stop it and restart it, for everything to be normal again, but then, I loose my places in the waiting queues... someone knows why that should happen? thanks in advance.

Java and OSX have never been entirely happy together, and it has always been necessary for Panther to require a regular reboot every day or so to keep LW from sapping up the virtual memory. I do not know whether this has been cured in Tiger, but I have not heard anyone say so. Exactly why this should have produced the Firewall effect I'm not sure, but it seems to be one of the slight problems running LW on OSX

Thank you Only a hobo, now I know why... learning a new thing every day is the certitude not to die an idiot!
