ok, let me solve this for everyone.
what the mac guy meant was IF you leave your limewire on idling yes over time of doing that will crash your drive cuz your sharing. However if you dont share (like me) your fine just dling.
Furthermore, as soon as your done with your dls exit limewire cause it will eat up your ram and virtual memory.
Now, if you must share your files inorder to be able to dl off of others i advise you to limit the files that you have in that shareable files like to one =D is that i do as a trick i move all my other mp3s into a different folder that is not shared.
Moreover, Harddrives crashes due to limewire is rare alone. it would have to be a combination of things. for instance, lack of defrag is one, reformating too much will be one, spywares oh thats a big one, running too many apps at onnce forcing your RAM to run on it pushing your resource to its peak, etc so yea.
So how to solve all that?!??!!?
1. defrag when your using your pc/laptop
What defrag does it originize your files for the drive to run smooth thus less crash and the "blue screen of death"
2.get a good anti spyware
currently i am using only Ad aware its free and its great. and MS windows Defender Beta that is also free.
3. try not to have too much icons on your desktop and Task bar thats are always running and taking up resource on your ram. thus slowing your pc./latop down.
4. Virus scanner
getting rid of those bot/trojan will relieve stress to the processor.
5. Upgrade RAM and HD
now if the speed isnt what oyur looking for get your self a
Cosair RAM XMS they ar the fastest in the market
and SEA GATE HD very stable and fast with their 16mb buffer.
If you have a dual channel ram motherboard get dual ram its one of the ways that makes macs fly =D when a G4 onyl has a 512 but its dual so like ya.
blah ok i'll stop cuz i can go on =P
questions?
