G4, dual 1Ghz processors, 1.5GB RAM. 15Mb broadband connection.

Unfortunately, there is more than one variable here....

I was using OSX 10.4.6 and LW 4.10.9 Pro with no problems.... meaning that selected downloads would continue on uninterrupted for hours or days if/when necessary (obviously, I don't sleep the machine).

In the last dew days, I updated both to OSX 10.4.7 and LW 4.12.3 and since then, I keep finding LW frozen in place, connections frozen, downloads frozen, and impossible to kill (except with kill -9 or Force Quit, etc.

I'm thinking the problem is with LW 4.12.3, since I backed up to 10.4.7 and it doesn't seem to be freezing.

Anyone else seeing this or similar behavior?

I'd like be able to depend on LW, but this is scary.
