Cpu Usage
 

Hi folks. New to this forum but hope someone can help. I am running LW Pro 4.14.8 and have found that LW takes up 97 - 99% CPU. I notice this more when LW has been running for a while as it slows my computer to a crawl. My computer is an AMD P4 running at 2.4 ghz with 2 gig ram. I've tried what I could but nothing works. I don't recall having had this problem with earlier version. Help would be appreciated. Thanx:yikes:

I think this will always be an issue with LW, and the newer versions are even worse.
I would suggest trying Phex. It will take a little to get used to, but far better than Limewire IMO.
See Link in my Sig for Phex. It's still part of the Gnutella Networks. :)

if you were starting up LW for one of the first times and had just added in a LOT of files to share then it just might be that the cpu usage was because of the hashing of the new data...Stief noticed that the newest version is having a real tough time hashing the data....
