May have to do with your ISP. Some (personally I’d guess most) will reduce your bandwidth if you are doing a lot of torrent downloading. There have been a number of them identified- some even openly admitting it. A quick google search will give you the info, and ways to check.

I know this is an old thread… but a question: Is it possible that Frostwire and Limewire do something to my setup so that even after they’re closed, my Internet connection would be dramatically slowed for awhile? I’ve experiences this several times, and always after running one of these programs. Takes a few days to clear up. Even with reboots of the router.

[...] Don’t forget though, that if you own a game, it’s nearly always legal (laws may differ from country to country) to download it using torrents or P2P software like frostwire. [...]

I used to be a Limewire fan, but then slowly switched to torrents. Torrents seem to be alot faster these days.

Well sometimes one will give better result than the other. Torrent method is good for ‘recent’ files – as the quality of the download will decrease little by little, and the Wires are preferable for individual files.

IMHO.

Why use LimeWire or Frostwire when you can just use a torrent program and download torrents? Genuinely curious, I’ve never really understood.

Open the Preferences, Filters.
You’ll see a bunch of options to filter out all the bogus results. I often add keywords to filter out all the spam. Then, as you use it, just keep blocking all the hosts that give you fake results, in a matter of a day or two it will be “trained” and you’ll have the best downloading experience ever.

FrostWire FTW!

I tried Frostwire for a little while, but I found it annoyingly buggy and unstable… other people I know shared the complaints and eventually I just gave up on it.
