* Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue!
|
Why? I don't want to give up on those files. Besides, only a handful are active at a time.
Quote:
* After opening LW wait 10 to 20 mins before using. Let it settle down 1st.
* Go to Tools>Options>Speed & tick disable Ultrapeer Cap. & press apply button.
* Set both uplds & downlds to autoclear.
* Close all LW windows you don't need open at that time.

Already did those things.

* You might also consider reducing shared files if you have multiple thousands of them.
|
Why? I only have around 500, but ... why? I have only five upload slots and ten queue slots, which limits how many active things might demand cpu power.

* Also don't use the Resume/Find Sources button on all incomplete files. This can have side-fx such as affect LW's connection quality. This will also stress LW & your comp. If you use Resume/Find sources then just apply it to a couple or so at one time.

I've noticed that -- I never send more than a screenful at once, and wait several mnutes before sending more.

* Reduce uplds to about 70-80% or more. Reduce downlds to 80 or 90%.

What, bandwidth? Why reduce download bandwidth? Even upload bandwidth -- I think my connection has seprate caps on each...

* Disable LW's media player so your default player opens instead (Tools>Options>Player & untick option & press Apply.)

I never use the limewire media player.

* If you're not actually actively using LW then hide it in the background or in the program tray (minimized.)

That seems to help a little...sometimes...
