What's up with the Library?
 

I have 4,600 songs that I share online, and now Limewire takes FOREVER to make these available (loading on average one song per second), instead of the 10-15 seconds it did take to load the entire library to share....

and it does this each time I load Limewire...

how makes this program anyway..why on each upgrade they fix some feature and break others?

LimeWire now creates a hash for each file before sharing it. The hashing is only donw once per file - unless you move the file or rename it.

Hashing takes some time - but if you wait for it to finish, it won't need to be done again the next time you start LimeWire - it will, however, pause to hash/rehash any new files you have downloaded.
