Default Limewire

just installed the free version of limewire from their website.

Looks good......but, DAMN! it totally kills my computers abilities to do anything else when its running

Even when you hit the X at the top of it, and you think it's not running, go CTRL + ALT + DEL and have a look ath the process running. It out strips the next biggest thing, for me its internet explorer by about 3! ie about 35,000thingys compared to about 9,000 for IE.

Fuckin shonky.

ps, got the song I wanted, spose to be pretty good for poorn too but I might give it a miss.

Limewire is okish at finding stuff, i find more of the music i chase using soul seek..

the reason it hammers the machine is its a java based application, and it just slams the performance..

if you look on the task bar next to the clock you can see the lime wire symbol, right click, and choose exit, sorted
