I am having a very similar issue. I have 3-4 files downloading (max downloads set) and they start off doing very well with from 1-8 sources each and up to 180 kb/s. Within a few minutes however my total DL speed begins to drop off gradually until all files are at 0 kb/s. At this point it is like something is frozen. I continue to see the # of sources changing and if max downloads arent filled then other files will connect to sources (although at 0 kb/s) but if I try to pause any of these files then it doesnt change to paused it just continues to say pausing... I also am unable to cancel any of these frozen downloads. I uninstalled limewire and reinstalled...everything worked well for a few days and now its happenning again.
