bugz in the attic
 

As a new user of Lime wire, I've been experiencing a few bugs which initially i had down to the novice's inexperience. Days later, with frustration reaching code red status, I'm conceding defeat with my ability to solve it and therefore throw myself on the mercy of the forum.
On attempting to download a reasonable sized file I encountered the following error message a third of the way through the download.


LimeWire version 2.8.5
Java version 1.1.8 from Apple Computer, Inc.

any ideas. I'm running mac o.s.9 on a G4.

I'm also getting the legend "can't move to library" on the rare occasion a download is successful.
Any ideas on remedying any of these ailments would be gratefully received
yours
