Limewire Freezing When Identical p2p Files Chosen For Download.

Hope that this is not repetition?!

I bought and installed Limewire 4.9.29 Pro (having had LW in free/pro form for quite a while).

When I mistakenly attempted to download a p2p file a facsimile of which was already being downloaded, I'd expect an error flag (like usual) and the opportunity to rename/redirect the file and that's it.

No such luck. LW would freeze. I emailed the help guys and they were bemused.

I've just installed FrostWire, which forces an install of Java 1.5.0. Frostwire runs just fine. So I thought I'd try to freeze LW by attempting to download identical files. Guess what?! All is now well.

Conclusion. If you've had a similar problem with LW, install Java 1.5.0, and I suspect all will then run o.k..

Regards, db.
