Vuze 5.4.0.0 Mac OS X just freezes

[GaryE]

Well the title says it all.   I just updated to 5.4.0.0 and it does not work at all.  I am running OS X 10.9.4.  I can start the app but then after a short while it freezes.  When I go to the force quit menu it shows the app as non-responsive.  It immediately tried to update the webui/remote control package (I did not note the exact name) I can click on update if I am fast enough . . . it freezes . . . I have tried clicking on cancle . . . it freezes . . . I have tried doing nothing . . . it freezes.

I have been using Azureus/Vuze for . . . I do not know . . . 7 years.  Never had a problem like this. I do not know what to do from here!  Maybe reinstall?  Maybe go back to an earlier version?  What?

Thanks for any and all help!

I figured it out.  When you download a new version of vuze the old VMoptions settings are over written.  Because I have so many torrents running (over 1,000) the default amount of virtual memory (256m) is far too low.  I increased it to 512 . . . and no more problem.  It is now working fine.  For more info about how to change the virtual memory options see:
