Limewire Basic running slow
 

What is causing the application to run fine sometimes and on other times it will be very slow. It will be slow when clicking on the tabs and while typing, yet the download speeds are not affected. Also, if I switch Windows to another program, it will timeout (program not responding) when I try to go back to Limewire.

I have recently started using Limewire and i'm having a similar problem. Sometimes it works fine, but other times u load it up and everything responds very slowly! You click on things and they take about 5 seconds to respond. Also when you minimize Limewire and bring it back up again, only half the display comes back, its as if the computer is running slow! But all other programs work fine.

Once you finally get something to download the download speed seems fine.

I have also noticed this problem is just the same when it is disconnected, so it can't be anything to do with the connection. Could this be a bug in the software??

It's so slow now its unusable, nothing you click on seems to react for ages. As i said before everything else on the computer works perfectly when Limewire is minimized.

Its definitely not a problem with the computer, it is brand new and top of the range Dell Laptop...

Anyone offer any advice at all, or am i destined not to share files.. :o(

Same problem here 2 with LW PRO
 

HI Guys,

I'm facing the same problem since I installed the LW PRO [Haven;t tried the Basic Yet] Whenever I download a Movie, V.Clip, Documents or anything I'm getting DL Speed of MAX 6 KB/s.

I've done what Merusame stated in this thread and still facing same problem

Any suggestion from the experts here ??

Down Stream is: 512
Up Streadm is : 256

IN LAN with more than 5 P.C's connected.

Help please ??

Does anyone know if it is a Java problem?

Hi bitstream-surfie,

I don;t think so I'm being infected by Torjans or Hourses, becuase I've got the Symantec AntiVirus INstalled with the latest update. Plus Ive got the MS AntiSpyware installed with the Latest Version of Update.

Also, I've never Downloaded a file with the sizes which you have been stated above, I'm downloading oonly Movies more that 600 MB of size.

But still getting bad Download Speed, Downloading from 4 - 6 hosts with 0 KB/s:o.

One movie it takes one week to two weeks ??/

Help please ??


Thanks,

Habibalbty

but, recently before installing the Limewire I've installed a fresh Win XP Pro on my NoteBook, how could I reinstall it once again ??

Regarding the Uploading Slots, it's okay I've made it 0 slots and even the numbers of allowed to upoad is 0.

But still the condition is same.

Thanks,

Habibalby

Someone says, it might be because of the Java Version :rolleyes:

I'm in puzzled and I don;t what to do???

I used LW bef4, never had that problem...I re-installed XP and LW and now im facing the same trouble as you all...I would say that Java is causing the trouble

Yes, but how can we get the old version of java ??? it might be good and faster isn't ?
