![]() Running limeware off a cable modem, win xp pro, 512 meg 'o ram, 80 g/b hard drive. (over 1 gig in virtual storage) Limewire basically works fine - BUT it degrades my system, so much so, I can't run anything else -- I can't browse, or do irc, mail, aim. etc. I throttled back the bandwidth to 20K. That didn't seem to help. It's just a resource hog. When I kill limewire, everything returns to normal. Could it somehow be fighting my screensaver? (seti/boinc). Maybe they don't co-exist. I don't mind sharing, but not at the expense of sacrificing my machine. Are there any variants that don't do this? I tried bearshare, up until the point my antispyware programme went berzerk.

![]() Hmm well I have plenty of free ram - I don't think that's the problem. Yes I have spyware and av software running but it consumes less then 3% resources -- they basically only run if I download or do email. Which I can assure you, is NOT 100% of the time. I also unfortunately, do not have an unlimited budget -- I'll just nuke it for now, and move on...... thanks Wayno Last edited by wayno; February 10th, 2006 at 11:27 PM. |

![]() Let me make sure I got this -- so you 1. set the listening port to 24337 2. set the Upnp Manual Port Forward to 24337 as well 3. opened the port 24337 in the router for tcp traffic. Is that correct? at least that's how I understood it. I'll give it a try and we'll see if it works. Many thanks Wayno |

That totally works! That fixed it. Seems to run much better, and doesn't hog the machine. I am going to let it run overnight for a good test, but this seems to be a good fix. Thank you! Wayno |
