True f___n' that Panter. Not only is downloading in Limewire slow in OS X but while Limewire is active it slows connection through my browser down as well. Last night I tried to download a 5 meg file though Internet Explorer and it said the estamated time would be over an hour - and I have DSL. So I quit Limewire and the connection sped up and it downloaded in about 20 seconds. Limewire support please lend your advise...
