Dropped Connection and more
 

After I start up limewire some time will pass, anywhere from 30 min to a couple of hours, and it drops my connection. Not only that I cant connect to the internet at all like with IE. I'll check my connection status and click and check my protocol and everything says unavailable. So then I have to reboot my computer. This never happend with an older version, but since I upgraded it happens all the time. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure your Java is up to date.

You may be working LW too hard.

Hints:
* After opening LW wait 10 to 20 mins before using. Let it settle down 1st.

* Don't use the Resume button on all incomplete files. This can have side-fx such as affect LW's connection quality & even your overall connection. May queue your files for much much longer. This will also stress LW & your comp. If you use Resume/Find sources then just apply it to a couple or so at one time.

* Reduce your incomplete files. Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue!
