You are a 56Ker?! Also, at least dl the 4.1.5 beta the memory usage is better (but still very high) and only connects to 3 UPs instead of 4 so your 56k connection will feel better (try also to reduce the simultaneous uploads allowed, that way you will send less query hits when uploads slots are full). Also disable to become an UP there is no way you'll become one with your connection.

Hashing happens only when a dl is finished or you added a shared folder. When hashing a new folder, LW indicates something like this example at left bottom: ie 520/575 files shared.

Ciao
