Limewire/Safari

[Andrew83Ga]

I've noticed several people with Safari issues. I'm new to mac and love safari, but when I'm downloading anything more the 500 MB on limewire, safari AND firefox grind to a halt. Any other time, the mac is snappy and responsive, but not while DL on limewire. It's a brand new 13" 2.53 ghz uMBP, i thought that multitasking wouldn't be an issue whatsoever

On windows you could set a bandwidth allocation for things like limewire downloads, but I haven't noticed that on the mac. Still exploring though.

Limewire is so 90's. It's the worst software ever! I have no problems downloading torrents with Transmission, no matter what I do.

cool, i'll give it try. On a side note, what does it mean to mount? Sometimes when I DL software, I don't know if I should drag it to applications or MacHD or what.

If it's an application, drag it to Applications, that's its place.

For whatever reason my torrents blaze in Limewire, but in other torrent apps like transmission they run slower.
