Perhaps this is genius bar but more likely I put it in the right place. I run OS 10.1.5 and DLed Limewire. Thing is... after I decide I want to quit it won't quit. I eventually HAVE to force quit this. Please someone else tell me you've noticed this. All it does is move it down to the dock. Help?

    Hey, I had this same probably for the longest time. I always had to force quit the program. The problem has gone away for some reason not it closes fine. I dunno what happen but at least it is running right.

    The truth is.....Limewire is kind of buggy. Ya know it sucks in a lot of ways.......but if you need it , then use it. I have a dual ghz, and to me limewire has a mind of it's own at times.



    Not that i answered your question either...just know that even the fastest mac runs Limewire like crap. I'd guess that makes Limewire a pieceO'crap mb?

    In the preferences, you can alter the quit behavior. There's a way to have it quit right away, but I can't remember what it is right now. I know for a fact, though, that it's there. Personally, I can't stand the program. I'm using <a href="http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=15375&db=mac"; target="_blank">Acquisition</a> right now and it's much better.

    It won't quit if there are active downloads...I think that's the odd behavior.

    The option for this behavior is under Preferences:Shutdown.

    Limewire gives me a bunch of problems (including the one mentioned here). From time to time it crashes the system ( or at least it makes it impossible to enter my password to quit the screensaver). Also, it occasionaly does some funky GUI things (chomping into windows of other aps).



    I think macosrumors blamed it for crashing there server a little bit ago.
