Whenever I try to connect to Limewire, three things happen:

1. My colour quality goes to 8 Bit, but it is normally set to 32 bit. I have to fix this every time and it gets on my nerves.

2. My whole computer slows right down.

3. It makes any other downloads (like ones off the Internet) go really slow. I have reduced bandwidth to 50%. The problem is I have tried downloading a program I am downloading right now through Limewire, and it did not come up (I'll share it when I finish downloading), so my only option was to shut Limewire and wait.
