I've been using the latest limewire for a long time and I never have more then 2-3 uploads going at a time over here..

I tried 2.8 today because I remembered it letting me have more connections
And it is showing more searches in the monitor window (MORE QUERIES FROM OTHER PEOPLE)

But not one person tried to or was able to download from me
So now I am back to the latest version
All three connections


three!
