Limewire doesn't have central servers. Each individual hosts computer (you and me), acts as a server. So the problem is most likely on your end.

Do you have a lot of files queued waiting to d/l? If so cut back on the amount. Is most of your bandwidth being used with uploads and/or downloads? You may need to adjust the amount you allow LW to use. In LW Go to Tools>Options and adjust it from there.

If your running other programs while your using LW they may be using up your system resources. Check with your task manager(Ctrl+Alt+Delete). You might have to close some programs.

Also if you running low on space it could cause problems. Try defragging you hdd. Sometimes shutting down your pc and rebooting will help.
