Hi please ignore my ignorance re settings but I was really interested in your comment re CPU usage, when using limewire etc my machine can go to 100% useage and freeze. I tried the suggestion given but in the options and advanced I do not have performance - the only comment re TLS is under SECURITY, where it has the box ticked for use TLS 1.0. am i looking in the right place - I am really fed up having to restart my machine.

thanks

Need more sources just means that person or person's not online or is a free loader and will not share with any body.Yes they are downloading but it's really called uploading because they are downloading from you.
