Download the latest version of StuffIt Expander for OS9: http://www.stuffit.com/cgi-bin/stuff...standardmacexp (bottom right of page for os9) Install it, & ReBuild your Desktop by restarting your computer whilst holding down both the Apple key & Option keys at the same time until you receive a message asking if you want to rebuild desktop. You should do this after installing any softw. But it is particularly important to do this after installing Stuffit!!

Now try dwnlding LW again. Don't use the browser over this time. If you have a dsl connection then it should only take a few mins. If Stuffit Expander doesn't open it after LW's completed dwnlding then drag & drop LW.bin onto Expander. Now install.

Here's some hints on optimising LW: A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities.

Some hints about ram & java (click link)

(By the way you posted in the wrong section - LW for OS9 does not belong in the Beta section which is why it took so long to answer you.)
