Someone posted just recently of similar behaviour by their LW. Their answer was installing FrostWire, then using LW, which suggested the Gnutella file they had was out of date. May I suggest you try replacing the one you have (yes I know you tried FW): http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html (DELETE/REPLACE gnutella.net FILE)

Something else to try: (a) Problems with the search, __ (b) Hostiles List, __ (c) In the Connections window, Cancel some of the connections. Some may be duds / spammer UltraPeers (UP's.)

BTW I have suffered same issue as you when trying same searches over multiple days. Stief suggested to me, quote:

Also, UP's drop repeated searches for a certain amount of time. I'm not sure of the timing, but I used to wait 24 hrs before repeating a search. I think that has changed, but I don't know what timings each version of an UP use.

So, bottom line: check filters (consider showing all junk results too), get new connections, or just wait a few hours before using a repeated search term.
