just thought of a thread i was recently reading (cant remember which). it said that one of the vulneralbilites of the network is that it is susceptible to bogus requests. this would possibly tie up the available upload slots, blocking uploads for genuine requests.

Could well be. One way to stop you from sharing files, is to fill all your upload slots with extremely slow connections. This way, it will take a while before the file is complete and able to share another file with someone else. Several things you could look at: Blocking IPs, minimum upload speeds, assign only one slot per IP, etc. I'm not sure whether LimeWire has these options though - I don't use it.
