When I first tried MacPhex about 2 or 3 months ago, it seemed to work quite well. Recently, however, it fails to connect on my system, too.
Perhaps it needs an update. In the meantime, I am relying on LimeWire.
I cannot have more than 50% of the CPU devoted to Phex (JavaApplicationS on Process Viewer). Does anybody know how I can have more CPU devoted to that application ?
