Do yourself a favour and for new work, install a version that isn't four
years old, has extra bugs for free, and is unsupported ;-)

Am using the methanol box supplied in gromacs. In some of the

Yes. There's an option to choose the maximum number of molecules added, if
you want a little more control.
