freeze and slow...
 

I've been using limewire for a couple of weeks. At first it was perfect, now it's getting slower and slower and it keeps freezing. Also it takes forever for whatever click, even jumping from library to search... I'm using mac OSX with the latest limewire available. I tried to clean up the shared folder, but it's not working...
should I improve the available memory to limewire? how do I do it? (I saw this in the faq, but it was referred to other os...)
Hope someone out there can help me

hmmm--more info needed (see the forum rules http://www.gnutellaforums.com/announ...?forumid=47 )

If you have built up a lot of incomplete files, they can slow things up. The easy fix is to empty the incomplete folder.

A system tuneup might also be in order (Safe boot, repair permissions, run Software update).

Thank you very much for your help!

I use an iBook G4, OSX 10.3.3, Limewire is 3.8.10. The Incomplete folder is empty... I think the software is the most updated available... what else should I check?

Hi Vale
Here are a few other suggestions

--Restart your iBook in Safe Boot mode (this does a file system check, and the folks on the Apple Discussion Forums recommend this before and after each upgrade). Just hold down the shift key after the startup tone http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393 After a Safe Boot, repair permissions and restart normally.

--in case many uploads are slowing down your connection, set the Preferences->Uploads->Basic->Upload Bandwidth to about 85% of the slider.

--install LW version 4.0--it is scheduled for release tomorrow:)

Cheers

Same thing happened to me in a different way. I just started using LW for the first time in about a year. I got version 4 and I am using OSX 10.2. LimeWire works fine, but when I switch back to the finder, I get the spinning beach ball for a LONG time before the window updates. ??? I just try not to click on the desktop. Wierd.
