You're not kidding!

My OS seems to go scatty when I've got an external plugged in....

If I should want to go onto Google, for instance - well it's just ridiculous the time it takes. It's got to the point now where I don't even bother even attempting to open up other windows when I've got Limewire going and an external plugged in. Which - if I should happen to be on Limewire for a rather long period of time - which is quite regularly, I hasten to add.... well you can imagine. It's an absolute pain in the rear!

Even something simple like being in my download window and going to check my upload window, or vice versa. There's this ridiculous delay....

And god forbid if I should happen to be downloading at the time....
When my pc finally sees its way clear to sorting itself out, that host I was downloading that got to have track or album from has gone off-line.
