Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed.

Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post.

Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information.

Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 Thanks for the information. You should run fine on a machine like that (as you seem to be). 1.4 does run considerably faster than 1.3, so I'd recommend giving it a shot if you have the time (remember you have to reinstall LimeWire after installing 1.4 to get it to recognize it, unfortunately). We've not heard of any speed differences with LimeWire between the Intels and the Athlons. Thanks again. Any more info from others would be great too.  |

| LimeWire generally has a high memory footprint, although it's usually not quite that large. There are some things we can do to reduce its footprint, although the larger issue is big footprints with Java programs in general, which we don't have control over. |

| PIII 500 384MB RAM RoadRunner Cable I was sharing 1500+ files. I changed it to 120 and set the upload slots to 0. There is no change in CPU loading. I have selected "Disable Ultrapeer" on the Speed Tab in Options... There is no change in CPU loading. I maintain 10 connections. I dropped it to 5 and it does seem to have dropped the CPU loading some.... it's fluctuating between 25% and 70% |

| I have 850MHz Athlon, 512MB, Win XP Pro, Limewire Pro 2.3.3, Java 1.4, sharing 2000 files. Doesn't matter if I'm an ultra peer or not, javaw.exe averages 60MB of RAM!! The minimum is 30MB and the most I see is 70MB, but 60-65 seems to be the most common. CPU usage is between 0 and 40% although it jumps to 100% from time to time. --Brian |

| I have more trouble with slow downloads I used bearshare which maxed out my system resources. (it doesn't help that they install ad ware) My CPU usage is low. Around 20% on average, spiking at instants, but compared to BS which sat above 90... I find downloads slow, extremely slow for how fast my connection is. |

| 100% usage I have a 667MHz intel processor and just installed Limewire last night. I love to be able to download music but the software uses 100% CPU time. And when it does that is is reading the harddrive. I hae even disconnected from the internet and found it does not matter. Whatever this program is doing it is very frustrating. |

| Re 100% usage It uses 100% of the CPU and grinds the disk for a while at startup as it's scanning your shared files and getting the bitrate of MP3s. It should go down after it's done with that. If you have a large number of files shared, the CPU usage could jump up fairly high as incoming searches are porcessed. Hopefully the LimeWire developers will start writing a database of your shared files to the disk in new versions or LW so it doesn't have to scan them all at every startup. And I hope they figure out a way to reduce the CPU usage for people with large libraries by either doing whole word searches instead of partial matches or maybe using native C code for the search word lookup. |
