I'm using MacOS 9.2 and I've allocated Limewire 32 mb and it takes 71.2 mb and is unreliable at downloading. Any suggestions?, I would ask elsewhere but another "Macintosh Addicted" forum had a change in policy. Editor of the printed word, Ministry of 68k Truths (mini6)

Lime wire is bad java programming, but it runs better if you compile it from source from thier cvs server, plus there is no ads  .-danny

Limewire eats up a huge amount of system resources compared to other filesharing appss, and this is especially apparent in OS 9. When I used to run Limewire on my 7500, I'd give it 128MB RAM and it was still slow and crashy. My solution was running it in 10.2.x on a G3/G4 instead!666th poster and 666th thread-creator

So what other things can I do, I'll be using classic for a while. I always have troubles with hotlines with access rights and filled download slots and Carracho at tracker-tracker doesn't even allow you to search individual files. Any word on how to compile limewire?Editor of the printed word, Ministry of 68k Truths (mini6)

IMHO, Acquisition for OS X does a much better job resource-wise than LimeWire. I've had good luck with Neo (the OS X Kazaa client) also.Official 68kMLA Music and NeXT Expert
