Why does it take so much CPU when I'm downloading my photos?

it's depend if you're downloading from the web is not you CPU is you internet connection and if it is for a camara or flash memory or whatever is not your CPU either is the USB port, the device or the cable itself, 'cause every port has and specefic speed and can't traspast and if you have a CPU at 3.8 ghz doesn't matter at all.

Maybe its the wrong type/speed of ram.\nI don't know what effect that has on CPU usage, but probably does.

possibly.. they may tend to use up your cpu once in awhile, evidently leading to crashes.. so far, i've got no problems with my torrent program but the thing that i often use to download files more quicker would be this p2p network, "limewire." it's really good.. you oughta try it for your self. i had the pro version. and dang does it work wonders not only in terms of fast searches but in superb sources...

This is a common problem. Not knowing the specifics of your situation I would guess that you are probably haveing hardware issues. My first guess is that you are using sometype of USB based capture tool like dazzle. Second your processor might be an older slower processor like a celeron or a laptop. Third your hard drive might be too slow, you should have at least 7200 rpm. Finally you should have at a bare minimum 128 megs of ram. More is definitely desireable.\n\nI think you need a faster computer.\n\nTony

All of this softwares working @ same time might slow down your PC, cos they all are using your computer memory all at the same time

It sounds like you need to upgrade your memory. I would try a couple of things. Run a Disk Defragment, windows tools. Also run a disk cleanup, windows tools. Then go through and uninstall and remove any unused programs or files. It sounds like you either need to upgrade your memory or get a faster processor.

It sounds like you are using AOL. You need to turn off image compression - AOL automatically adds extra compression to images in order to make them load a little faster - this can be turned off in your options.

The only way to sort this problem out is to reformat your hard drive and allocation the correct allocation ( set to auto ).\n\nYour hard drive has been formatted with a compressed filing system which not only makes your pc slower, but limits you to what you can do with your drive.

You may also have too many applications running at once.  Try shutting down (closing) some things you have going.

you may have other programs running in your task bar or you have a virus.try defragmenting or deleting unused files.

Well whats the age of your PC.  Are you getting an error?  When you say it takes too much time, makes me think you may have to little memory.  Have atleast 256MB or 512 MB of RAM?

go to downloads.com & search for DAP or other varients of download accelerators\nTry cleaning out your temp files & removing unused programs defrag you drive aswell

Try defraging your computer: Start button- Programs- Accessories- System tools - Disk defragmenter. \n\nYou files may be broken up all over your hard drive and it has to look over your whole hard drive to find the last files, that is what may be causing the slowdown, or you have things running in the background of windows that suddenly needed memory causing it slow down. Press ctrl+ alt + delete and if you have XP you will see a tab on the task manager for performance, have a look at that next time you burn, see if anything spikes.

because you are using dial-up, the songs and videos especially will be choppy and freeze... not really enough bandwidth to carry all that info to your computer that quickly...
