Problems staying connected.
 

I can't seem to stay connected long enough to download anything large. As soo as I step away from Limewire for 10 minutes or so all the downloads stop and the indicator says I am "disconnected" or that it is "Starting Connection". It never completes. Sometimes however, even though it shows as disconnected or starting, some of the downloads are still going??? The Connections tab shows all the Ultrapeers as "Connecting". The only thing that seems to fix this is to restart Limewire, Windows or both. I just tried disabling my software based firewall, but my DSL modem has a hardware firewall. Do I need to disable this to use DHT? Is this even related to my issue? I would like to leave my Trend Micro firewall up for my own protection. What do you recommend?

Also, I would like to find some way to block certain users (I think they are invasive bots) like whatisnewxoxo from constantly bombarding my computer. It only takes a few minutes after I start Limewire that these guys start showing up in the Monitor tab. If you try to Browse Host, no IP is given and all you get is a list of bogus files, most of which contain viruses. What is this? Please someone reply either here or by email. :wai:
