Having little space left on your computer does not slow the computer down. It's the fact that your downloading and getting Spyware, Adware, and viruses.

I use Bit-torant, and Limewire, both work fine for me. With Limewire I just change the preferneces and say I have no share folder.

In order to make it through the world one needs some insanity.

Bittorrent is the worse, only one worth using is LimeWire butyou have to edit settings so it doesn't screw up your modem.

Yeah. I also turn the bandwith for uploading to "0%" and downloading "100%". It'll make a major difference.

I recommend Symantec Corporate edition for virus protection. Doesn't clog up your computer like all the Norton packages do. Oh, and btw, it's free updates w/o a cd-key. You're not verifying anything, no work-arounds for those KaZaA downloaded version, nothing!

Spybot, Symatec Corporate Virus Protection, and *name of really good spyware detector that even found articles about anarchy too goes here* are my recommendations.

Don't put the bandwidth allowed to download on limewire to 100% it could screw up your modem.

How would it? It hasn't given me a single problem, and I've used it how it is for a couple of months.

You're also running a server on your computer. I'm not really doing anything else to be draining bandwidth as far as I'm aware of.

Well the server doesn't use up bandwidth unless people visit it and no one visited my server while I was downloading off bt and please it screws up network connections and makes internet not work. When I had regular Limewire and had bandwidth on 100% I couldn't use the network for anything elese except LimeWire.

Try SoulSeek, ssj. I have been using it for quite a while now, and have no problems with it that I am aware of. It is pretty reliable.

His router is 54Mbps, I doubt he utilized all of that. So it's not that.
