When the interface is down limewire starts normally but when it's up it takes about 3 minutes to load. I have tried upgrading to stable but it's still the same issue. I will try to reinstall to do some more testing. On 9/18/06, Emil Stoyanov wrote: > Radu Adrian Zdrinca wrote: > > I have had similar problems with the driver.
