Frequent LW crashes with Vista
 

Running LW Pro 4.14.12.

First off - I have no problems with my Firewall etc. It worked from the getgo:xeri_ok1ani:

I am experiencing LW freeze after a few days of operation. It seems to signal that it's about to freeze by a) slowing down which means that when I select a file for download it takes a minute or so to drop the file into the download folder.

When it does that is comes up with a message saying that (essentially) that LW has an internal error and that it needs to shut down or that you can continue what you are doing. Either way if I restart it loses my download library and all the files I have pains takingly research and readied for a download.

It does NOT crash Vista.

Some facts.
Using Dell XP dual core @2.66Ghz w 4gb ram
ATI Radeon x1300Pro.
1.5Tb HD's

The files I download are large (Audio books) typically >20mb and I will search and earmark sometimes over 500 (large) files. So my download library is pretty big

So I am wondering if I am stressing LW to the max and causing it to fail - anyone with idea's?

I am OK with rebooting but ticked off :confused: that I loose the library of files to be downloaded when this happens and have to start all over again

Is the freeze only happening when you're actively downloading?

Try the tips here: Reduce the drag caused by LW
To disable ultrapeer capabilities in new versions, tools > options > advanced > performance. While you're there, also disable Mojito DHT capabilities...that might help as well.

The Java version that you'll link to from that post is now Java 6 update 4.

If you still have the same problem, try this older version of Java. Download
the JRE offline installer & remove your current Java before you install this one.
