Is OS 8.6 high enough for the latest Limewire? I thought it was for OS 9, and there was a separate one for OS X.
I had a connection problem the first time I used 2.5.5, but what I realized was that it was scanning all the files that I was sharing before it would let me connect. I figured out that it was adding each file to the "library," one at a time. That took a really long time. About 45 minutes or so. About half way through this process, I pulled down the first menu, selected "Connect", and it worked normally. I agree, it is the best one for Mac so far, but it is incredibly S-L-O-W.
