Limewire basically works fine - BUT it degrades my system, so much so, I can't run anything else -- I can't browse, or do irc, mail, aim. etc.
I throttled back the bandwidth to 20K. That didn't seem to help. It's just a resource hog.
When I kill limewire, everything returns to normal. Could it somehow be fighting my screensaver? (seti/boinc). Maybe they don't co-exist.
I don't mind sharing, but not at the expense of sacrificing my machine.
Are there any variants that don't do this? I tried bearshare, up until the point my antispyware programme went berzerk.

I had this problem, for me it was the UDnP that caused the problem, I disabled it and set my own port, you will find this option in Tools/Options/Advanced/Firewall config, I set it to the same as the Listening port and it all works fine now, remember to give Limewire time to settle after you "restart" it with the new configuration.
