I am very surprised that since subscribing to and using Lime Wire, web browsing, in fact all tasks on my pc have become intolerably difficult.

Is this usual ? I experienced the same with programmes like Kazaa or Napster in the past but would have expected better from a file sharing service that I actually have paid for.

Am I asking too much to be running Lime Wire, ie downloading from other users AND expecting to be able to use my pc without trouble ? Does everyone experience the same ?

I'm running Windows XP and have a 2mb line if that helps. Any feedback welcome. Thanks.
