Hi i searched and found quite a few people who are having the same problem I am.

- Very slow dls 0-1 kbs

- after a while dl-ing ( 15 min or more ) my whole computer slows down and locks up until i END limewire. Sometimes I would get an error message, sometimes just a freeze up.

I have concluded from the forum and errors it gave me that the java heap memory is to blame. I have never done any java programing and i dont understand the sorta-fixes posted. Am I the only one still suffering from this or did everyone give up?

I have done all the regular fixes and my IP says they dont limit p2ps. Bearshare is working for me but I would perfer limewire.

I would like to start from scrach and see if I can troubleshoot this problem! Any help would be great!!

If it is the same type of problem I experienced, i.e. Internal Problem caused by Java crashing, then just cut down on the amount of files you share.

I used to share over 1,500 then the problem started, I cut down the files I share to 150 and that particular problem has gone away.

I have another problem, with LW Pro (4.9.37) disconnecting itself while the internet connection is still on, but I am going to hunt around the forum before crying for help.

Yeah i saw that too so I stopped all shares and still the same thing.

Any other ideas?

post your system specs...i.e. processor and speed, RAM amount, psu (brand and wattage)

pent 4 2.0ghz
768 Ram
power source is whatever gateway uses im not sure what...

I also did the windows sp2 p2p patch and the custom one for 50 slots to try and fix the problem again no luck

ukbobboy01, on installing 4.9.37 all previous disconnect problems were no more ....up to about a week ago, presenting the same symptoms you are experiencing. Normally it's not a big hassle unless it's left running overnight... If you find any info on this, let me know. Got to go to bed now ,hope it's not a in the morning.regards

well that system appears to be quite capable of running LW and doing a few other things to boot..if you by some chance don't have the latest Java release, then install it:

yeah got that too

No one else has any ideas? Please I love my limewire!
