Limewire Basic running slow
 

What is causing the application to run fine sometimes and on other times it will be very slow. It will be slow when clicking on the tabs and while typing, yet the download speeds are not affected. Also, if I switch Windows to another program, it will timeout (program not responding) when I try to go back to Limewire.

I have recently started using Limewire and i'm having a similar problem. Sometimes it works fine, but other times u load it up and everything responds very slowly! You click on things and they take about 5 seconds to respond. Also when you minimize Limewire and bring it back up again, only half the display comes back, its as if the computer is running slow! But all other programs work fine.

Once you finally get something to download the download speed seems fine.

I have also noticed this problem is just the same when it is disconnected, so it can't be anything to do with the connection. Could this be a bug in the software??

It's so slow now its unusable, nothing you click on seems to react for ages. As i said before everything else on the computer works perfectly when Limewire is minimized.

Its definitely not a problem with the computer, it is brand new and top of the range Dell Laptop...

Anyone offer any advice at all, or am i destined not to share files.. :o(

Same problem here 2 with LW PRO
 

HI Guys,

I'm facing the same problem since I installed the LW PRO [Haven;t tried the Basic Yet] Whenever I download a Movie, V.Clip, Documents or anything I'm getting DL Speed of MAX 6 KB/s.

I've done what Merusame stated in this thread and still facing same problem

Any suggestion from the experts here ??

Down Stream is: 512
Up Streadm is : 256

IN LAN with more than 5 P.C's connected.

Help please ??

Does anyone know if it is a Java problem?

Hi bitstream-surfie,

I don;t think so I'm being infected by Torjans or Hourses, becuase I've got the Symantec AntiVirus INstalled with the latest update. Plus Ive got the MS AntiSpyware installed with the Latest Version of Update.

Also, I've never Downloaded a file with the sizes which you have been stated above, I'm downloading oonly Movies more that 600 MB of size.

But still getting bad Download Speed, Downloading from 4 - 6 hosts with 0 KB/s:o.

One movie it takes one week to two weeks ??/

Help please ??


Thanks,

Habibalbty

but, recently before installing the Limewire I've installed a fresh Win XP Pro on my NoteBook, how could I reinstall it once again ??

Regarding the Uploading Slots, it's okay I've made it 0 slots and even the numbers of allowed to upoad is 0.

But still the condition is same.

Thanks,

Habibalby

Someone says, it might be because of the Java Version :rolleyes:

I'm in puzzled and I don;t what to do???

I used LW bef4, never had that problem...I re-installed XP and LW and now im facing the same trouble as you all...I would say that Java is causing the trouble

Yes, but how can we get the old version of java ??? it might be good and faster isn't ?

Hi,

I have the same problem here. My download speeds are fine, but I can't really *use* the computer when Limewire is maximized. For example, when I type in a search, I have to hit the keys and wait 10-20 seconds for the text to show up.

I know it sounds dubious when someone says "I don't have viruses", but I'm a computer programmer and I know how to keep my machine clean. Even if something were to get past me, one of the other programmers in the room or the sysadmin would get on my case.

I also have the absolute newest version of Java, and all of my other java apps run fine, including Eclipse which many times larger than Limewire. I'm (amongst other things) a Java programmer, and I've never run into anything Java-related that could cause this, so I'm pretty sure its the LW app causing the problems.

I've updated LW, and reinstalled it, and done everything that generally speeds up a program. Oddly enough, this was only a sporadic problem until this week.

SLOW Limewire consuming CPU cycles
 

Latest Limewire 4.8.1 is causing slowdown of all activity on computer. Althougt others may have a virus or trojan issue, this is not the case. I have up-to-date NAV and test and scrub weekly as well as spyware detection and scrubbing. Using XP Windows Task Manager (called with CTRL-ALT-DEL) shows spikes of high CPU usage (sometimes to 100%) with Limewire running, and the Processes Window shows it is Limewire conuming the cycles (shown by sorting according to CPU useage column). Even with limewire "Disconnected" and no uploads or downloads indicated the problem still exists with exactly the same symptoms. The problem manifests itself by slow activation of other windowed programs, mouse cursor freezing periodically, and periodic sections of garbled music if listening to Limewire player. Music is also peridocially garbled if listening to music with Winamp or other players. HOWEVER: If Limewire is COMPLETELY shut down (not just minimized) then the CPU cycles are suddely freed up, the mouse does not freeze, other windows applicaitons activate instantly, and Winamp and other players no longer periodically garble the music. This issue is clearly related exclusively to the fucntion of Limewire running. Ideas?

Slow Limewire AHHH!
 

Same problem as everyone else here. I have two computers. One is running on an older compaq i have, and the other is on the computer I'm on now. I just recently upgraded the processor, motherboard, and video card on the computer I'm on now and when I try to run Limewire, its soooooooo slow. However, it works fine on the other computer, which is not updated or anything. I got the newest version of java, reinstalled limewire, and it still doesn't work. It used to work on this computer, but I updated the drivers and limewire and now it doesn't. Is everyone with the latest basic limewire having this problem? Or is it just the people in this forum?

I'm using the latest version of LW and now problem at all with it. Before I was using 4.8 Pro and I'm facing this problem, but since I upgraded to the newest version all this problem as been sloved.
