I never noticed that you wrote this part before. The answer to this question is yes. About a week before this problem started occuring I started using Azureus (A BitTorrent client) and was often leaving it running several days straight. This obviously does a large amount of downloading and uploading. But the thing is, Azureus still works fine. Would they not have blocked it instead of limewire?
