Considering the sizes others have mentioned that might cause problems, I doubt it--I'm currently sharing 367 files, the maximum I've ever had being something like 420ish, and my incomplete listing has never exceeded 100 (most likely a bit less than that as I'm guesstimating). But, to be sure, I deleted everything in my Incomplete Files and Downloads queue window, so they've been clean as a whistle for several weeks now.

Another thing you can do is go to preferences, Connections I think it is & disable automatically connect. Then next time you open LW, let it settle for 10+ mins & then go to File menu -> Connect.

Something I already do after having read another thread suggesting this.
Seems I was right to be
cautiously optimistic last night, as after having a turbo connection for a few hours I then lost all but one connection. Trying again tonight but getting nothing. *sigh*
One thing I've noticed, I don't know if it means anything, but potential host connections used to go to just 6 seconds, sometimes 7 seconds, in the Time column before dropping. Now I see a number of them go to twice that. Any idea why?
