Seems to me that when Internet file transfer occurs via the Finder it interferes with LimeWire. The best example of this is use of iDisk. Has anyone else noticed a problem here? I wonder if this might be related to the problems reported above after upgrading to 10.2. Perhaps along with 10.2 you are using your .Mac account more and that interacts with LimeWire, leading to more frequent crashes.

Another problem area I have found is an excessive number of file transfers. When I allowed up to 10 simultaneous downloads many transfers were slow, in the 1 kbps range, and there were many "Transfer interrupted" failures. After restricting to a max of 3 downloads transfers are much faster, usually 6-10 kbps, and I get a much higher frequency of successful transfer. A solution to this problem may be allocating more RAM, as suggested above, which I have not yet tried. I have about 1400 shared files, for whatever relevance that may have to memory use. I am running a 867 MHz QuickSilver. If this machine is not powerful enough to handle more than 3 downloads, people with even slower machines may want to set their max transfers even lower. Hmm... I just realized that although my cable modem can download at 4 Mbps, its upload is only 128 kbps. That may be why restricting the number of downloads from my system helps.

It would be good if someone who knows would post some advice guidelines on how to set the various parameters.
