Using External Drives PickaxeFairy

I have to say though.... I do notice quite a difference in Limewire's performance when I download to an external, as opposed to my pc's main drive.... There's quite a bit of crashing and freezing tends to go on - which I can't say I ever experienced when I was downloading to my main drive.
| I am somewhat surprised, especially as I have never (ever) experienced this slowing down in performance, crashing and freezing you are experiencing.
I've just looked at the USB drive you are using, it looks great, but I can't tell if it has an external power supply unit. BUY THE WD Portable Storage ONLINE AT PC WORLD.
If it hasn't, I would strongly suggest that you change your drives for ones that do.
