Hey guys,
I’ve been trying to avoid posting, since I know how annoying it gets but I can’t seem to tweak my LW to work efficiently. Most recently, I've had problems with LW simply freezing a couple of minutes into launching the application. DL's will begin, and then freeze. I’ve also had problems with DL speeds. While DL'ing movies, ill occasionally get 100kbps but then on average, it’s anywhere from 10-30. Even when its high, it will go fast for a couple minutes then drop back down. Finally, I’ve attempted many times to uninstall and reinstalling Java with no luck, in difference with performance. From what I’ve been told, if I'm getting 100% cpu usage or huge lag times, this would be the problem. Perhaps someone can link me up to the exact Java download that seems to be working. Thanks in advance for any help.
