It is often said it's best to delete your LW preferences folder before updating to Pro (whilst LW is closed); instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

2. Whilst LW is closed again, go to your LW incomplete folder & list it in size mode. Then delete all files that are less than say 10 KB in size. Then after opening LW, go to the downld list & click on the top of the Progress column so it lists everything in % downlded. Delete all files 1% or less. This will dramatically release more life into LW (as well as the 1st suggestion.)

3. After opening LW, wait 20 to 30 mins before doing anything. Have a cup of coffee or something. That will give LW a chance to load all incomplete files & shared files & attempt to connect to each individual file.

4. Some hints: A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities.
