same for me, the torrent extractor on limewire is completely screwed its giving me an estmated waiting time of 5 weeks 2 days and 3 hours for a 39mb file. I would say limewire are doing this delebrately to make you buy their pro package

Gads .. don't use LW for torrents. Use a genuine Torrent program which is designed specifically for the purpose. LW's torrent tools are limited & not accepted in many circles of the torrent world which will refuse LW users to download from them.

I'd recommend either uTorrent or Vuse (previously called Azureus, which is what i use.)

LW 5 is not as good at hosting large quantities of files for sharing. Music & image files slow it down. Also old preferences folder can slow it down. Look around the forums for how to delete your old preferences folder. :)

Oh .. and you probably would be wise to purge your incomplete files list from LW 4. Simply cancel all previous old files that will not connect & that will delete the incomplete files. Too many incomplete files will slow LW down dramatically also. ;)

cheers
 

thanks for the names of the torrent extractors, i tried once briefly looking on the internet for them but the search just came up with places to download torrents from:super:
