LW's browse host function has always been quite unreliable. What I do after a browse search has finished, I choose
Get/Find More Results several times, also rebrowse them from scratch. Sometimes when using the Get More results tool the browse search tab disappears because it failed. But still, this is a handy extra to use when browsing people.

There definitely are people out there who unshare files. Perhaps because they have their settings to share files upon completed downloading, but then wish to get the files out of public view. lol ... it might be because they are at work, or because someone in their family might look over their shoulder lol ... whatever reason, it's highly annoying to other users .. and tends to suggest they are simply leechers (in the gnutella sharing sense of the word ... torrent leecher has a different meaning. Gnutella meaning = take but no desire to give back.)
