Put the information there just in case it will help you weed out the problem..

Connection drops out every so often and its obviously a new thing which started, umm, can't pin point the day, but a few weeks now anyway...

Few observationsive had with this issue.. Now bare with me, im not to computer savy...
--It disconnects more often when Shaw is throttling during peek hours(evenings in general)..
--It disconnects more often when i happen to be downloading lets just say one file at a fairly low speed (for what ever reason)..
--It Doesn't Ever disconnect even with little data flow activity if im moving around within limewire with the mouse..(this is the reason i waited so long to post, i been asuming/suspecting it was my PC, Modem or LAN was going into some sort of suspention/sleep/whatever, but never could find a problem with those.. can sustain 14 days straight in Everquest, but Limewire disconnects randomly? /shrug)
--Limewire when it does disconnect because i was away from the PC for a period of time or i had it in minimized doing other things surfing the net/games/whatever, as soon as i open it again and click within the program, it reconnects itself..

All that said, It doesn't seem to disconnect for me at all when im downloading a few large files at peek bandwith speeds even if i been away from the PC for hours on end.. but once the files are done, or there is just one last file left and its downloading a little slower it will disconnect... not uncommon for me at all to wake up the next morning and find one large file not done and Limewire disconnected....

Ok i think ive rambled on enough

I am having the same problem and I am a new user.. how do I get my money back? Maybe I will stop payment on the card

LW don't offer refunds on Pro...because LW basic's free to try for as long as you like.
