Default Some questions and problems

Ok first off, Hello everyone; glad to be here. Any way, I have some basic questions and problems with my copy of lime wire. I am running lime wire pro 4.8.1 and I am using a dialup connection. I have noticed that when I first start limewire it connects and the connection indicator says “turbocharged” well as a little while goes by, it drops and eventually a box pops up that says something like-you do not seem to have an active internet connection bla bla bla…. The program still runs and I can download some files normaly but what causes this? I am running kerio personal firewall but I disable it while using limewire. I also have a dialup accelerator issued to me by my isp the company that owns the accelerator is SlipStream. Sometimes a another window pops up that says “your search will not return many results because limewire is connecting to the network” or something close to that and I end up closing limewire and opening it again because clicking on disconnect and then connect doesn’t help. I noticed that a lot of my downloads never download and say need more sources. That is not strange but what is, is the fact that this happens to downloads that when I choose to download them have like 10-20 sources; where do they go? It drives me insane to see that I can’t download a file that a million other people have. I noticed that you can choose to block people from getting your files if you don’t share enough in return. If you are being blocked because you don’t share enough to get someone’s files do you get any warning or does it just popup as need more sources? I am sharing about 555 files total is that considered a lot by most? Oh and what does waiting for stable connection mean? Thanks for the help in advance!
