Everytime I start up my system Limewire starts up and when I'm online it totally slows down my connection, but everytime I shut it down it just opens again in a couple of seconds. This is very irritating, I'd TOTALLY appreciate if someone could help me out here. Thanx

Reduce your downld bandwidth to about 80-90% & your upld bandwidth to about 75-85% & see if this makes any difference. Also disable ultrapeer capabilities. Go to Tools>Options>Downlds & Tools>Options>Uplds>Basic & Tools>Options>Speed to find these options.

Also see these hints:

* After opening LW wait 10 to 20 mins before using. Let it settle down 1st.

* Set both uplds & downlds to autoclear.

* Don't use the Resume button on all incomplete files. This can have side-fx such as affect LW's connection quality. May queue your files for much much longer. This will also stress LW & your comp. If you use Resume/Find sources then just apply it to a couple or so at one time.

* Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue!

* If still problems after applying the above then try reducing your share if you share multiple thousands of files.

I am having the same trouble dude. I tried what the other guy said but i cant find"Downloads & Tools"

Anyway they had better com out with a fix soon cuz i cant play any of my major games ( Halo, Half Life) until then. Peaves me off.
I love limewire. its a great program but when things like this happen it makes me want to uninstall it PERMANENTLY

PLEASE!!! SOMEBODY HEEELP MEEE!

Thank you very musch, I will try the things you said

Nothing worked, I tried reucing the bandwitdth and everything, it's just not working. I opens by itself every couple of seconds, I even tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it but it didn't work. I'm going to cry and I feel like screaming at the same time. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I dont know what i did but i went to Tools>options and reset all options to default with a little button at the bottom and all of a sudden mine quit. After i did this it came up with that little wizard like you just installed it and i went through it and its working just fine for me now. try it. p.s. i didnt have to leave the settings at default i did put them back the way i wanted them but it is still working okay.

I have the same problem with LW popping up. I've tried lowering the dwnload and upload bandwidths and disabling the ultrapeer capabilities and even resetting to the default mode... nothing works. I restart my computer and LW pops up again. Im not even connected to the internet when it does this.. someone please HELP!!!

1. Go to LW's menu Tools>Options>Advanced>System Startup & untick option & press apply.

2. Tools>Options>Shutdown & tick Shutdown immediately & press apply.

See if this does the trick.

I tried this and still nooooooooooooo.

I thought i had LW fixed but it started up again.

Im about to the brink of uninstalling it until friggen whoever writes the friggen program friggen fixes this friggen frig butt bug.

Its beginning to friggen **** the friggen crap out of me.

Good luck kc0rkx_finch. You haven't told us anything about your set up. So are we supposed to guess. Try another program then. lol Forum Rules (click here)
