The latest LimeWire 4.11.3 I have tried still does the same thing. After 5 minutes of use, it starts taking control of my CPU by maxing it into the 90's! Has anyone noticed this problem? Sam, I was wondering if the development team has tried the released version 4.11.1 to 4.11.3 on their personal computers and see if it does the same thing?

4.11.3 reduced the CPU use here considerably (now back down to 12-37% usually, with only occasional spikes to 74%).

I'm about to try 4.11.4 and see what happens.

Yes, we do run the betas (and the development versions). We've fixed what CPU problems we've seen, but since computers have such a wide variety of differences, we're not able to see every kind of problem. That's why we need to rely on all the folks here to help us out.

As stief mentioned, we released a 4.11.4 beta (the changelog will be around on Monday) which contains various fixes to problems folks have mentioned and bugs that were reported back to us. I believe a 100% CPU fix was part of the changes.

Could you please give us log on package com.limegroup.gnutella.io.* on ALL level for a few seconds? Thanks!

Sam, CPU problem finally solved! 4.11.4 works great!

Amazing. Thanks very much for letting us know. We're probably going to release a stable release next week (stable meaning non-beta).

To everyone: Thanks for helping us debug this beta. I think we've got a great release coming out. It definitely has the least bugs reported of any release we've ever had and many new and improved features that will speed LimeWire up and make it play nicer with the rest of your computer. And then on the next beta cycle we're almost definitely going to have BitTorrent integrated (Zlatin's got the integration down to an art) and a DHT (which Roger & Mark have spent months writing, fine-tuning and prepping for general release). Yay!

Limewire 4.14.0, Java 1.6.0_03, Fedora Core 4.

Runs great without limewire.

After limewire has been running for about 20 minutes, having downloaded a couple of files (or tried to!!!), the CPU maxes out, crashes nautilus, freezes the whole machine for up to 20 minutes.

killall nautilus results in a clearup and it starts again without me asking it to, but limewire is still unrespnsive.

I don't know if it's relevant, but whenever I do a search for an mp3 and get hundreds of results but with no bitrate they won't download. It appears to require a number of sources 'and' a specified bitrate before it will download a particular file.
