Thanks for the reply. I'm using OS X 10.3.4 with all the latest patches and updates.
Now that I've had a chance to test Limewire on the office networK, I'm more convinced than ever that this new version is just slow - either that or no good shares are happening anymore.
With my previous version I would average AT LEAST 30 kbps on virtually all downloads. Now I'm lucky if I can maintain 10! And this is using my home network (ADSL both wired and wireless) and my T1 connection at the office.
I want my old Limewire version back - stupid me didn't keep a backup...
