Yes nothing else is running, and I have not check that option.

There is nothing downloading and nothing uploading. I'm using the tool in www.pcpitstop.com to monitor the download speed but it's obvious when it loads, I cant surf the web at all. As soon as I close the program everything goes back to normal.

It has been like this forever, even back when I was using version 1.7.

I'm also using windows XP just incase that has something else to do with it.

I use LimeWire all day long from work with no problem but at home it kills all my bandwidth.
