(Or is it 2.3.3? CNET.com says so. LimeWireWin.exe Properties says 2.3.4 (File version 7.2.42.0))

1) Not running Ultrapeer (or anything other than Limewire) while CPU runs 20 to 70 averaging 30

2) Sharing 4150 files : sharing 0 files makes no difference

3) Maintaining 3 connections in the connections tab. Uploads Per Person 3, Start Upload Slots 5, Max 5

4) Cable

5) 1 GHz Athlon, 512, ASUS A7V133

The puffy XP task bar flickers, occasionally disappearing altogether for a 3 count. The machine grinds.
ONLY Limewire -- in contradistinction to whatever scenario of concurrent aps I may choose -- will dare this. Going back to 2.0.2. Which is the best of them all and who has it?

Great programme otherwise!
