The best fix: Downgrading to LimeWire 4 from 5 & resuming incomplete downloads

A leaf is the normal word for anybody connected to an ultrapeer. LW Basic connects to 3 ultrapeers, Pro connects to 5. Each of those connectors are called leafs. BTW sounds like you are connected as an ultrapeer yourself with so many connections. There are advantages being an ultrapeer which includes being able to download from more hosts per file.
