It has been discussed in a private forum here about Comcast being caught out attempting to block p2p programs. This may be your issue, but not necessarily.
In meantime, try these things:
1. Delete your LW prefs folder whilst LW is CLOSED. See instructions here:
Deleting LW Preferences folder in OSX. Be sure to make a note of all your settings before you do this because next time you open LW you will need to re-set your download location, speed, etc.
