Limewire has stopped working. I can run it, I see the GUI window but then it does not connect to peers and does not do anything at all. when i try to kill it using "kill -9 PID" command, it gets killed but i get this when i do "ps x":
Java [defunct]
this "defunct" process never gets killed, no matter how much i use "kill -9 PID".
It was working all fine and now stopped working (when 1st time i noticed this, I also notice done more problem, I can not shut-down the computer it freezes at "saving system clock [BUSY]" , i think these problems are related: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=37060)

You tried Frostwire yet? It's generally better than Limewire...
This is some weird stuff though. I've never seen or heard of a process that refuses to die when you run kill -9 on it. Are you sure your hardware is entirely alright?

as i said it says: [java] <defunct>
no matter how much you kill. Hardware is fine (except the cell on Motheroboard which gave me problem 2 times but after cleaning it a little bit, it is fine). I will try Frostwire

I tried Frostwire too, same "[java] <defunct>" problem . 1st i thought my ISP must have blocked the P2P but then this idea has nothing to do with the "[java] <defunct>" problem. If i can't kill a programme then ISP has no part in it. So i think JRE is to blame. I am downloading older JRE 1.5.0 update 11 and will try it and will post the results here. (earlier i used JRE 6 updater 2)
till then, any ideas on where the problem is ?

It seems like lots of people have exactly the same problem:

I tired both Frostwire and Limrwire on my new Frugalware installation and both run fine without any troubles at all and I also tried Frostwire on my friend's machine running Windows XP, it ran fie there too. I used same versions of both *Wire and JRE
Sp I am sure this has to do with Arch itself and not with *wire or JRE. should I file a bug report ?
