Prevent iTunes From Slowing Down Your Computer During Downloads

Posted by Mitch on Feb 14, 2010 under Software Tips | No Comment

Whenever I download a full album in iTunes, it slows my PC down to a crawl. It uses a ton of resources because it downloads and processes so many files at a time. Thankfully you can make iTunes download only one song at a time using these steps.

1. Open iTunes.

2. Click the Downloads option on the left pane.

3. Uncheck the Allow simultaneous downloads box.

Now iTunes shouldn’t take up so much memory so you can do other things while your music downloads.
