Some tips:

* After opening LW wait 10 to 20 mins or longer before using. Let it settle down 1st.

* If you're not in front of your comp, then hide LW in the task bar.

* Reduce uplds to about 70-80% or more. Reduce downlds to 80 or 90%. (Go to Tools>Options>Downlds/Uplds>Basic to make these changes.)

* Don't use the Resume button on all incomplete files. This can have side-fx such as affect LW's connection quality. May queue your files for much much longer. 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.
