Well keep in mind these: autogenerated spam results & T3 Spammers; mp3 Bit-Rates Versus File Sizes
Perhaps you should try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

Some other points:
Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue!

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

Set both uplds & downlds to autoclear.

Also don't use the Resume button on all incomplete files. This can have side-fx such as affect LW's connection quality. 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.

A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities.
