    Open the correct ports on your router if you have one.

    Ports should have nothing to do with Limewire causing lag. I am assuming you're talking about Internet lag. Have you already downloaded files using Limewire? Chances are people are uploading from you at maximum speed, using up all of your upload bandwidth making websurving etc. really slow. Simply set up you upload bandwidth slot in Tools>Options>Uploads>Basic.

    How fast is your internet connection? Does your PC meet the minimum requirements of Limewire Pro?

    If it lags your computer:

    Do you have a good HDD?
    How much memory is the program taking during use?
    how many concurrent connections do you have at a time

    Does your computer have at least 64MB of RAM? What version of Windows are you using?

    Are you running a legit version of Limewire Pro? If so, which version?
