"Browse Host" freezes system
 

Whenever I try to "Browse Host" my system completely freezes. I'm using OS 9.2.2 and version 4.5 of Limewire. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The same happens on OSX when loading or filtering a lot ( 10-20,000) of browse host results. There used to be a limit of 3000 results.

4.0.6 Pro only SEEMS to freeze on OSX. It continues fine after ~5 minutes or so. Classic might well be different.

Thanks for the help. Are you saying that if you leave the comp for awhile that the error message just goes away ?

I don't get an error message. Which one do you get?

not a full message, just a box usually with the word error near the top ???

Sorry--don't know what it is, but maybe it's a running out of memory problem. Search for posts by "bootylicious"--perhaps those will help more.

I, too, use OS9.2 and the pro version of LimeWire.

Yes, there used to be a limit but now it's seems to be unlimited.

However, my experience is that if I'm trying to browse someone who has a lot of files (more than a few thousand), it may or may not take a while.

Sometimes, "a while" can be 5 minutes or longer. At other times, only some of the person's files will show up and occasionally none of them. I am referring to hosts that I frequently encounter who have the files I want so I know what they have.

So, that's a mystery to me (why only some show up, I mean.)

Not sure I would call "freezing" the correct term even though it "seems" like that when nothing appears to be happening.

Error messages don't just go away except that you can configure options to discard those "internal message" windows.

Rebuild your desktop and quadruple the memory allocated to Limewire.
