ok first off, I've been downloading from LW for almost two years with no trouble, then last night, all of a sudden, files with more than 50 sources that should be downloading really fast, just sit there and say they are all "connecting" for a really long time and eventually go to "need more sources" I've tried all kinds of popular files with the same result. I reinstalled LW but the same thing is happening and haven't changed anything with my firewall either (I tried downloading with my firewall off and got the same result). I can't think of anything I might have changed to cause this effect...
