My son is running Limewire on a Mac OS 10.2.x. When Limewire is open, access to the internet on other computers crawls to a near stop.

If I exit Limewire on his computer access speed picks back up immediately to where it should be on broadband cable modem.

Short of limiting Limewire to after I go to bed is there anything we can do to share the bandwidth more equitably?

Thanks,

Rick
