sharing partial files
 

If I'm downloading a file and I allow partial sharing will that slow down my download? Windows XP, cable connection. Thanks!

Also, I am not minimizing to system tray but minimizing to start bar and still my Limewire disappears and I must start downloading or searching all over again....it's getting frustrating....Thanks!

It's shouldn't noticably affect it. You can adjust your upload bandwidth by going to Tools>Options>Uploads>Basic, adjust it down 5-10 KB/s from your max.

In Limewire go to Tools>Options>System Tray, and put a tick beside "Minimize to System Tray", click apply.

If that fails, try deleting your pref. folder(with LW completely shut down), point 3 in this thread: Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should! Make a note of your settings first cause they'll be reset to the defaults.
