There might be a possible corruption of the LW preference folder. You can try and delete it to see whether that will bring any changes.
Read here on how to delete this folder (Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire)

Afterwards reboot your computer.

Another possibility is that you ISP has started to shape your bandweidth usage.

Well, if resetting your router (as a last option) doesn't have any effect, then the terms of Verizon applied to their wireless contracts have been silently extended to your service.
