Unhappy waiting on busy host/need more sources

I have recently upgraded to the paid version of Limewire and ever since I have had more problems with the ability to actually DOWNLOAD or ACCESS music than I did with the free verision. Every time I try to down load a song 9 times out of 10 I get "waiting on a busy host" and the other 1 time it says "need more sources" even though there might be hundreds of sources available. Why is this happening and what can I do to make it work for me? Shouldn't the PAID version be more accessable???
I am using Windows XP-SPS 2 with Limewire 4.12.11 Pro, Java 1.6.0_01 with a Turbo charged connection. The fire wall IS up in front of my globe but was also up in front of my globe when I had the free version as well. I have McAffee and it has allowed Limewire full access to the internet as it did with the free version. I use a DSL modem and I have about 1.25 GB of RAM. I am in the USA.
I am not that computer literate so please speak as layman as possible.
THANK YOU!!

I am having the same problem with everything i try downloading.
No it is not my ISP, everything worked fine up till 2 versions ago. I use limewire pro which i purchased from the limewire site.
My firewall isn't the problem as it was fine before.

My system is:
AMD Athlon 3000+XP
1024MB ram
Biostar Motherboard
Windows XP Home Edition
120gig hard-drive
Radeon X800GTO Video Card
