thanks, realy helpful for a new bird like me, another question : should I leave LW open while I donn't download or doing things later.

Hi please ignore my ignorance re settings but I was really interested in your comment re CPU usage, when using limewire etc my machine can go to 100% useage and freeze. I tried the suggestion given but in the options and advanced I do not have performance - the only comment re TLS is under SECURITY, where it has the box ticked for use TLS 1.0. am i looking in the right place - I am really fed up having to restart my machine.

thanks
