I've been using Morpheus and Kazaa on a PC on my network for quite a while with very good results.

I've recently "switched" to a Mac G4 (400Mhz) running OS X 10.2.3 with 320Mb RAM. This Mac runs on the same network which is connected to the internet via an ADSL connection.

I decided to try Limewire but since installing it I have had major problems with very slow downloads (even those showing 4 stars on a T1 connection). I have been unable to download 95% of things that I have tried so far - I keep getting requery's, waiting, messages etc. Very unlike the type of performance I was getting from my PC. I have been running this whilst there is no other traffic or users on my local network

What makes this worse is that I've noticed that Limewire makes everything slow down on my Mac - making running Limewire in the background impossible.

This is a very disappointing experience of the Limewire community.

Has anyone else suffered these problems?

If you have a solution please let me know!

Thanks
