That should not affect your speed LimeWire is merely checking file status and writing the file to your hard drive. The only way this could affect your speed is if you have a extremely slow or dieing hard drive which I doubt. I guess it may be possible that if you have allot of incomplete files that it may be plugging the pipes.

I do know that if I am running Azureus which you can set to have a unlimited # of connections. If I run unlimited it and I get up around 300 connections incoming and outgoing it will bring my speed to a crawl and kill the modem. Thus it is plugging the pipes and overloading the modem. And it does not appear to have anything to do with bandwidth usage. It appears to be # of connections.
