Default Shaping again?

Hi 1 and all,
I am still running 4.16.7 pro, as I like to have my .bak and .data files available for crashes and also deletion if required etc...
for the last two weeks,limewire has been freezing completely when left running,usually have 6 downloads running,and two uploads running.
Will be ok on restart,as post above,for a while then slows ,and freezes.
I have ghosted etc.. and have a clean system,this was a real puzzle as I have been running LW since stonehenge was built!
I had a faint worry that ISP was shaping or messing with the protocols again only worse,so to test ,as other downloads work fine, I stopped sharing any files i.e. stopped uploads,guess what! LW works fine,no freezing, I think that as in the uk ,previous Gvnt. passed bill on file sharing this is the ISP new move.
Is this caused by anything else? or will I just have to be a leech and not allow uploads,this goes against all my pricipals!!
Any ideas you bright people?
PS Sorry I've been missing for a while!!! Hope your all well and thriving
N2
