Re: system requirement?
 

I run the same OS and it won't work for me either. At startup I get a "this application will now quit".

Do we need OS9?

LimeWire Freezes Constantly
 

I've been using LimeWire for the past two months, but I've also just quit using it. I love the features, but the aggravation and hassles make this application worthless to me (not to mention all the other Mac users complaining about the same thing).

I have a G4, 533 digital audio PowerMac, with 256 MB of RAM and a huge harddrive. I have allocated 50MB of memory to LimeWire.

It doesn't matter whether I do one search, or many searches, or no searches at all. The application simply freezes / hangs up for anywhere between 30 seconds to 1 minutes ALL THE TIME. During these freezes, I can't do anything else on my computer, either. Everything just stops.

I've seen comments about Apple's poor Java threading, but LimeWire is the only Java app that I have a problem with. If LimeWire wants to support the Mac platform, GREAT -- except, make sure the darn thing works right first.

One more thing...
 

Oh, and I'm using OS 9.1.

not sure which version i updated from but every document i have downloaded turns into a limewire document instead of a quicktime doc and i can't open it

why?????


also, this error is bull ****...

i used to be able to click on a bunch of files with the same name and different locales and choose the fastest...

Adding my two cents
 

I have G3 350MHZ with 256 ram running on OS 8.6. I was having problems before Limewire, so I backed up and wiped everything.
After a fresh start the computer ran perfectly until I installed Limewire 1.6, the problem occurred when the installer tried to replace the javascript stating the program needed a newer version. So the second installation was successful but now the computer does crash, certainly not as frequently as before but I know that it's Limewire causing the problem. So is a fix coming soon?
Also as I have read in other posts, mpeg and documents downloaded are unreadable, any suggestions?

Don't get me wrong I do like the program but the bugs are frustrating.

Gary-

If you don't mind firing up LimeWire one last time, does reducing the number of connections in the "Connections" tab help at all? I recommend reducing the number of connections to 2.

Thanks.

Type 2 Error Crashes on Mac OS 9.1
 

Any thoughts on why Limewire 1.6d consistently crashes on me? It's installed on a brand new IBook 500mhz G3 and I've installed and uninstalled it more times than I care to admit.

At startup, it asks me for the first-time use settings (connection speed, et. al) even if I've set them in the past. The real problem kicks in whenever I try to either switch to a different tab window (monitor, for example) or try to switch back to the finder with Limewire running. Either way, I end up Limewire crashing with a Type 2 error message.

As I've said, I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times, run TechTool on my Desktop folder. Is there a conflict I'm not aware of? The computer's brand new, so not much other than the current versions of kensington mouseworks and behierachic have been installed.

The only other thing I can think of is mrj was updated when I ran the Software Update a few days after getting my IBook.

Thanks.

Does it always crash when you try to go to a new tab? If you are able to go to the "Connections" tab, try reducing the number of connections to 2 to see if that helps things at all.

I would also recommend increasing the amount of memory allocated to LimeWire to 40 megs or more.

iMac user
 

I`m so glad I saw this site...I was very close to turn nuts. LimeWire is not working very well at my computer either my iMac is using MacOs9, has 64RAM and 20GB, and I`m sorry to say...I`m no proff. at this...I`m from Norway so I`m not so good in reading english....so that gave me a lot of problems to...:-) Anyone here who can tell me what other programs (than LimeWire) to use on my puter??? please....

To add to my comments of using Limewire on the new IBook:

I tried the 40 megs of memory and it didn't help at all. I'll try lowering the connections to 2 if I can get in before it crashes on me.

Just for my own sanity, what does a type -2 error entail? What's causing this?
