Is LimeWire causing the router to block the Internet connection?

I have installed LimeWire on my computer in the company where I work. Is it possible that LimeWire, after beeing active for a while, causes the router in the company to block the internet connection? Maybe because it thinks that it is beeing attacked by a hacker when somebody tries to download from me?
Also, I would like to ask, if a technician somehow can see, that I have used LimeWire on my company's Internet connection and which files I have downloaded?

Yes, that's possible.

If they have log files, they will be able to tell you were using LimeWire even after years....

My company doesn't have logs... It's a small company, so I am only connected to a router, that is connected to the Internet.
No logs or anything.
But I was thinking if the ISP logs the traffic?
