Limewire...Slows computer like hell -
05-30-2005, 01:18 AM
Does any of you guys use limewire? I have the pro version, and though the search results and download speed is awesome, it slows my computer ALOT. I'm wondering if any of you guys have this same problem and is there a way to fix it?

That's normal. P2P programs eat a huge amount of CPU power.

I've found the same thing. Not as bad since I upgraded my RAM to 1GB, though.

Bittorrent, there is nothing better. Kazaa is full of pedophiles and shitty everything. Limewire isn't bad but it's a system hog. |

i use kazaa revo as a last resort for downloading sometimes. other than that, i never use limewire, have had crap experiences with it so i use the torrent system which is great depending on whats downloading and who's sharing at what speeds...

Ares Lite still works great for me. I use soulseek sometimes, but it has gone downhill lately
