Why with Limewire on do I get a crappy net connection?        Okay okay, this is not a real problem but more of a general question. 
I recently doubled my connection speed (1024kbps) and internet is great and all and so is Limewire, but only if I use them separately!  
The thing is that with Limewire on, even if the download speeds are around the 5-6kbps mark and with upload speeds not exceeding the 20kpbs, if I start using Safari it takes tooooooooo long (ok maybe not so much) to load the pages. 
I mean this is, what, 30 kbps? I have a connection capable of handling 1024! (at least in theory)   
I have no firewalls and stuff like that, using Limewire 3.8.5 (maybe I should upgrade) on a G4 iMac with OSX 10.2.8 and (I think) I have the latest Java.   
Oh, and ignore the "member" label: I'm still a newbie.
