Still, its not normal that you should enable bwlimiter to avoid high cpu
usage. You may want to read the corresponding FAQ to know what (non DC++
related) reasons can be behind your problem :

Bug description:
I have used DC++ for years now and have rarely had problems with it. I love the program and over the past years it's only gotten better and better, until a few days ago.

I went straight from the 0.75 version to the 0.761, because I had to move last month, and therefore didn't have internet for about 2 months.

I've always considered DC++ to be quite a heavy program. After all, it also processes a lot of information. It's not out of the ordinary for me to be downloading 1 or 2 mb per second. But my computer (AMD Athlon 64, 3500+, 2,21 Ghz with 2 gb) has always kept up with it. I could easily, while downloading an mb per second, be streaming over my wired network to my ps3, be playing chess (grandmaster edition) even, and my computer would keep up, no problem.

Ever since the update however, things slowed down. Whenever i am downloading an mb per second (same internet connection as previously btw), my entire computer becomes unusable (whenever I click on something it takes 2-5 seconds for it to react). It is when the download is done (and dc++ could still be running) that my computer comes to function again.

There don't appear to be memory leaks. Only 750 mb of my 2 gb physical memory is used after a night downloading. But when dc is downloading at great speeds my cpu usage shoots towards 99% and everything slows down.

It seems to be like bug 323043, with the difference that my uploads only appear to the damage when dc is downloading at great speed. When I'm not downloading much, I don't experience any slowness.
This also seems to be a bit like bug 231247, with the difference that I've never had problems in earlier versions.
It also seems to be like bug 538687 but I never got the messages about C++ libraries. I read this solution though, and tried to install the update offered in that bug, but it doesn't seem to help.

Thank you in advance for helping me..

If I haven't supplied you with enough information then please let me know and I'll respond as quick as possible.
