Why does limewire, slow down the internet connection?

Question

When ever my sister is downloading several songs, it slows the connection way down. I have my own computer and she's downloading them from our other computer and for some reason the internet connection is way slow. You can't browse at all on either computer, when she is downloading several songs at a time. We have a dsl connection and mine works off the wireless connection. Any help would be great thanks

Answer 1

it is taking a lot of bandwidth to download and it is not leaving enough room to do much else, i am assuming that you are on a dsl or cable hookup with a wireless off that to a second or third computer

Answer 2

Because you are essentially sharing all your files with other Limewire users, and downloading anything will slow you down. Also, if you are not using the pro version, you are subjecting yourself to Spyware which will slow you down even more.

Answer 3

Download and then run startup.exe at:

Then disable and/or uninstall whatever u don't need.
