Yeah Java is not the most efficient. WHich java do you have now? SOmetimes 1.4.2 or 1.5 does better for some than others. It seems to depend on their set up. You could also try deleting your LW prefrences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions: Fixes for Limewire

Also get rid of some of your incomplete files if you have a lot. Go to downlds window & click at top of Progress bar so it arranges them by % then delete all those at 0%. Then go to your incomplete folder & arrange it by size view & delete all those at 0 KB. (BUT don't delete your downloads.dat file!)

Hmmm Don't think the problem is what you think. LW's default player is very very basic. It will do that.

In LW tools>options>player ---- uncheck the box ---- press apply then okay.

You will also have to close and restart LW for the changes to take effect. This will set your systems deafault player as the player LW uses for mp3 files.

Have a good day

*edit* I just checked my Task Manager. I don't show any java applications running either, although LimeWire is running along with this browser *edit*

i deleted the .limewie folder but its still slow am now downloading java 1.4.2
