hi, i run an amd 3200, xp sp2, 1024 ram, 840Gb hdd, adsl2+ (19.7Mb) connection. Whenever i open up Limewire (Beta 4.9.35), i proceed to dl a file. the dl may begin and may peak at 180-190kbs, then after about 2 seconds at that, and up to about 14-15% of the file, the speed drops to 0kb. my other apps begin to go funny at that time too. winamp plays slowly, firefox comes to a stans still, and msn messenger just plain sucks and wont reconnect. can anybody help me- i will be eternally grateful. seb.
