That may be a good suggestion to put forward to the developers, i.e. a facility (button) that switches between LW Lite and LW Full.

Bob,

I suspect that's probably already implemented, more a question if it's documented. The limewire.exe does take arguments, for example the shortcut "LimeWire On Startup" starts limewire.exe with a "-startup" argument.

Also, the executable is just 120kb, indicating that it's just a fancy startup script, which makes me think it should be possible to start limewire using the java command with arguments, so I think this is more about *how* to start limewire with reduced memory than to request that 'feature', as it's a 'feature' that's already built into Java.

i just went ahead and tried to start the limewire.jar in the usual java way.
seems to work. this means you can pass arguments to limit max mem.
for example:
java -jar limewire.jar -Xmx80m
limits max heap to 80 meg.
consequently, limewire shows up in task manager as java.exe.
