I'm not sure at present. You're getting a false report which suggests something's not right. If it were you'd be getting better uplds & dwnlds. For the time being may I suggest 2 things: 1. Do a SAFE start & Repair Permissions (even if it doesn't fix the problem, it should be done both before & after installations of any kind. It certainly wont do any harm!) 2. When you're away from your computer, hide all windows except the search/dwnld window (ie: go to View>Hide>Monitor, Connections & Library window. Also Hide LW in the background. This will help stop the build up of ram use & VM growth.

I'm hoping another member will add his piece here also within the next 24-36 hrs.
