I'd also like to note that unplugging the modem from the back of the computer and then starting limewire has no freezing problems then. I also disabled the network card from within Device Manager does the same thing, doesn't have a problem then, except for the connection issue lol. I deleted all my downloads from within my incomplete folder and started fresh with none, also uninstalled limewire and deleted the preferences folder and redid everything. 1 download connection makes no difference here either. bizarre.
