I'm having a strange problem. I was downloading some stuff - mostly just .mpeg and .mpg and my harddrive was loading stuff none stop and making dumb noises like it was trying to read something really hard. I noticed that the latest limewire build seemed to do it. Because i went back to my old pro version and it seemed to work fine without the harddrive having problems. What would cause this between the two programs?

actually, it sounds like the download was the difference. The next time that happens, look at the Monitor Pane to see all the uploads.

Larger popular video downloads download quickly because many people are sharing just small chunks. When you are part of that "swarmed" download your hard drive will indeed work hard

Thanks for the reply i appreciate it. But i noticed yesterday that may not be the problem. It just seemed non-pro used more system resources and pro none at all. I was downloading the exact same stuff on both ( luckly it resumed my incomplete downloads ) But then it was laggy with non-pro so i went back to pro and have had 0 lag issues unlike non-pro.
