I have just done a complete reinstall of LimeWire 4.9.13 after a complete Uninstall. When I was running it before I would kick into UP mode and connections would eventually erode to 1 kb/s download and 0 kb/s up. I saw at times where the counter showing combined connection speed jumped to 11,500 (?) but with no significant increase in actual downloads. There is a firewall being displayed in LimeWire though I know there is nothing more I can do to alleviate this situation.

That last thing is a JVM crash. Those are very rare, but they do happen and its one of the few things we can't do anything about :(

Just a quick note: I have attempted to duplicate the problems in this thread on my machine, and have been unable to do so.

I would point out that I do not use iTunes on this machine.

Everything has been running normal. I have switched from UP to leaf and vice versa no problems.

i dont use the itunes integration either, i dont even have itunes installed. i have no patches made to my system, its just a normal WinXP SP2 machine.

but i will disable itunes, empty .limewire, and start sharing (rehashing) again.

here is another stack trace when limewire froze on hashing:

console errors:

4.9.15 now
 

I've just downloaded 4.9.15 - it would be nice if there was some sort of release note included with the download to say what the difference between (say) 4.9.14 and 4.9.15 was. I see there's an alleged guide on here, but it's now three releases out of date (.12 is the last one on there, with very minimal details anyway, and I've just downloaded .15 after downloading .13 and .14 in quick succession earlier today).

There certainly seemed to be a breakpoint between 4.9.7 and .10 - my poor old memory-lacking G3 Mac iBook (384MB of RAM) sweated blood on 4.9.4 and .7 but .10 and later are MUCH less memory hoggers. I upgraded to 640MB at the same time I went to 4.9.12 and was expecting .12 to eat most of the 640MB but no, it (and subsequent releases) play much more nicely.

Nice work!

Yes, version 4.9.16 has been released. It includes a fix for the memory usage increase when sharing a lot of small files (tens of thousands), and some further workarounds for the SP2 connection problems.

If you are running 4.9.13 and its been doing just fine when it comes to staying connected and has been stable - keep running that - we'd like to see how far it can go :)

If you happened to download 4.9.14 or 4.9.15 you should upgrade to 4.9.16 and give it a spin!

Problem: when i refresh my library, alot of the current files that are uploading will be canceled.
