Hi there.
Right now, it seems to be for me, I am only connecting if I manually input a host into the Connections Tab window (not in Options). The one that seems to work best for me is router4.limewire.com Meaning that the connections seem to be more stable. When I enter the connect3.bearshare.net the connections are always shuffling. None seem to "stick" for very long. But I stay connected either way.
I've removed router.limewire.com out of my Tools > Options > Connections because it wouldn't connect. Again, I seem to have better luck if I enter it in the Connections Tab.
Try some of these:

Good luck.
