I went to preferences in LimeWire and clicked on Restore Defaults. I lost all of my current downloads but it ran for about 3 hours or so - where before it wouldn't go more than 10 minutes.
I've started readjusting my preferences and since then it's started hanging again. Don't know if there's soemthing to that or not.

I don't really know what I'm doing here - I'm just trying things.
