 Limewire Consumes All Cpu Resources
Running limeware off a cable modem, win xp pro, 512 meg 'o ram, 80 g/b hard drive. (over 1 gig in virtual storage)
Limewire basically works fine - BUT it degrades my system, so much so, I can't run anything else -- I can't browse, or do irc, mail, aim. etc.
I throttled back the bandwidth to 20K. That didn't seem to help. It's just a resource hog.
When I kill limewire, everything returns to normal. Could it somehow be fighting my screensaver? (seti/boinc). Maybe they don't co-exist.
I don't mind sharing, but not at the expense of sacrificing my machine.
Are there any variants that don't do this? I tried bearshare, up until the point my antispyware programme went berzerk.
