First off, I just wanted to say I've been a long time LimeWire user and supporter. I recently upgraded to LimeWire 4.9.30 basic and have been having some issues with CPU usage. Actually, my computer was also "freezing up" on the previous version of LimeWire as well. It usually only happens when downloading a file larger than 200 mb.

Edit: I'm running Windows XP with SP1, ZoneAlarm 6.0.667.000, Java2SE 1.50, cable modem, sharing 2 gigs of files, P4 3.0GHz CPU, over 200 gigs free on my SATA hard drive and I have a gig of Cosair TwinX4000 memory. I seriously don't think it's a hardware issue. I built my 'puter last year and it's still pretty fast.

I'm not sure if LimeWire is having memory leaks or what. I recently formatted and did a clean XP install and still have the same 100% CPU usage problem. Like I said, it only seems to slow my computer down to a crawl when downloading large files. The only thing I can think of that might be causing the problem is that I have a habbit of leaving open my Shared folder and Incomplete folder when running LimeWire. Ya know...so I can see what I've downloaded/downloading.

I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Swanky
