Mac os X.2 clean install french language both Os and limewire. so java 1.3.1.
" Try making sure that Tools->Options->Connection->"Connect on startup" is unchecked and set your keep-alive to 0. Now quit LimeWire and restart. Do not hit "connect" or adjust the keep-alive. "
Been there done that, CPU still over 20% with limewire 2.6.1 even when I modify ads.props to not have ads! Also since limewire 2.5.x (at least on mac os X.2) sometimes the start setup pops up at random when opening limewire and I have to re-enter all my config. Hint: Is your InstallAnywhere up to date for this OS?? Have you ran lime on the new operating system? Is your .plist (preferences) effective? It looks as a java loop process, but what do I know about that? Nothing.

Bonne chance Lime team!
