Just wondering if they'd be any probs downloading from Bitcomet and Limewire at the same time? Don't wanna mash my comp up. I use Bitcomet for films and albums, but there's a few tracks I wanna d/l using Limewire. Is this gonna cause any probs for me and my comp??

Cheers for any input!

Peace

I use the exact same programs nowadays because Azureus messed up too much and KazaaLite got shut down when Kazaa got sued for 100 mill.

I use both at the same time. In fact, I was up until about an hour and a half ago, getting the 13th Warrior and then some John Legend songs.

Then again, I have a pretty/really fast computer. Sooo...

this'll do nothing to your CPU. if anything you'll have small losses in the file data.. but that's about it.

I thought he meant, will it cause slowdown etc etc haha

But like Bob said, I highly doubt it'll mess up your computer. Your net speed is just how fast you will download and seed. That doesn't have anything to do with memory usage.

yeah, haha. I have AVG and I downloaded McAfee, neither of them got the trojan horse downloader that is currently, as Bob was so nice to point out and remind me of, unleashing hell on my mobo.

Ah, well. I'll stay with the ship until she goes down in FLAMES. (Yeah, think about that one)

Go here: http://free-av.com
they have the absolute best free anti-virus available.I have used it for 3 years now and have had ZERO viruses,trojans,or spyware problems since I installed it.AVG is all right,but I got infected by viruses and trojans on more than one ocassion while using AVG.Avira Classic is hands down the very best out there.Better than the PAID versions of McAfee and Norton.

Yeh... I wouldn't worry so much about the processor as having enough RAM. Anything over 256 is fine, so you shouldn't have any problems.
