Hmmm

Well, if you are going to talk to your ISP, I advise you to ask only in the most general of terms about problems in peer-to-peer connections. Attribute your experience to apps with a less controversial image than Gnutella clients. ISPs get nervous if you actually tell them you might be breaking the law (something, of course, none of us ever do). But, it sounds as if it's a software problem at your end rather than an ISP problem. So, what hardware are you driving, which operating system and which version of Limewire? Perhaps, you have a version of Limewire that does not fit so well with your current operating system or you have not updated (which can cause real problems if an older client is trying to connect to the latest clients).
