Hi birdy:

Well I added the hostiles.txt file to C:\D&S\Name\ApplicationData\Limewire. I hope this is the correct place to put the file.

I usually look for old songs and very rarely any new stuff. I also use the album search all the time. Don't usually do "songs titles" too much.

I've been monitoring my bandwidth and trying to figure out where it is all going and it appears that Limewire is sucking it up like a "tonne". I've never seen it do this. This is just a recent problem (last 3-4 months).

As mentioned, I've opened the ports within my 2-wire router and Limewire has gone nuts uploading (Hits column is travelling at light speed with all the uploads - some songs 1500 hits in less than 1/2 hour). Also, I was trying to download one song and it has already used about 15 MB of bandwidth (uploading and downloading combined). The song is only about 6,500 KBs.

This is really weird behaviour. Normally Limewire or other P2P programs don't suck up this much bandwidth.

Any suggestions on how to fix this problems?

Thanks,
