I was wrong. Increasing the ram and reducing the number of searches did not help. The freezes are back. They are just as frequent as before. Time to look for alternative programs.

For all of the Mac users experiencing freezing problems, we are looking into this problem much more closely.

Our next version of LimeWire will include code that should alleviate the freezing problem somewhat, and I strongly encourage anyone with this problem to give our next beta version a try as soon as we release it. We will likely not be able to solve the problem entirely, but we should be able to minimize it quite a bit.
