That's not a torrent - it's a trickle!
LimeWire handles torrents anyway
Ctrl+Shift+Esc, Processes tab, right click on LimeWire.exe (or LimeWire.exe *32 if on a 64bit system...) and check priority. It probably says normal - try dropping it a notch (especially if it's above normal)
Might help - you never know.

I use limewire pro, dunno though limewire shouldn't be using more than 5% cpu usage unless of course it is scanning files to be shared and or it's re-checking a torrent file.

Oh right, so people don't use P2P for legal downloads then? Please, enlighten us with your knowledge, oh great and wise seer!
Sorry, but you're nothing but a deluded sheep who's just decided to jump onto the "Oh, if it's P2P it must be illegal" bandwagon! Funny enough, we use quite a few P2P applications at work to download large files quickly and securely, so before you hit that reply button I suggest you think about your post first.

Nope, don't buy it. Do you use bloated software like Limewire at your mythical "work"? Nice try, but no. Even if this were to be true, you'd be one of the .5% of people not using it illegally. Alas, you are not.

And of course we're all purchasing these downloaded files legally.

No, we do not use Limewire, we use a bespoke (look it up) P2P application to transfer large files around, and when I say large I mean files in the terabyte range. Then again, it's probably not even worth explaining it to such a person as you because you deem work to be "Mythical".

I used to use limewire, but I stopped.
Now I have a 15$ a month subscription with Zune, so I can download unlimited music. The only downside is the DRM rights, if you have to re-format your computer, that means no backing up music. Gotta go re-download everything, but no sweat for me.
It actually let's me get rid of old music I don't really listen to anymore and save space, and the music I like/want comes back, and thereon other new songs.

Be sure to pick torrents with a decent amount of seeds and/or check to make sure you've forwarded the proper ports. Tweaking your torrent app a bit can also help.
