 Try some settings changes. (Tools>Options>) Turn Ultrapeer capabilities off under the Speed option in Options. Also in Options>Speed: turn OOB searching off. Make sure iTunes sharing is disabled. Possibly reduce both upload & downld bandwidth by 5-10% Another thing to add to these ideas, reduce your incompletes. In LW, cancel all those that are zero % (1st arrange by progress by clicking the top of that column.) Then go to Library window, select incomplete folder, press explore so the folder opens for you. Arrange by size & delete all those that are 0-50 KB (but be very careful NOT to delete the downloads.dat & .bak files!!!) See if that results in improvement. Also as I suggested in the other thread, try changing LW's compatibility mode to either windows 2000 or NT. Also when you open LW, let it settle for some mins before searching, etc. You can also check out changes to the newer LW betas here http://www.limewire.com/english/cont..._history.shtml  |
