I'm a leaf. 6 connections.

While LimeWire/Java is taking all the processing time, LimeWire is unable to keep any connections for more than a brief period of time. Last time this happened (started a couple of hours ago) LimeWire claimed it was disconnected. Some uploads got a brief look in - downloads were not happening.

Switching off the ADSL connection did not seem to improve (or worsen) matters.

I got bored after a couple of hours of slowdown and killed Java from taskmanager. Restarting LimeWire went fine, picked up all the incompletes and is currently working without a problem.

This last episode started when I stopped LimeWire and restarted it because all the uploads had dropped to 0K - As LimeWire was going through restarting the (fairly larger number) of incomplete downloads it started taking all the processing time (I've set maximum number of downloads to 30).
