Please go back to your post and remove the image. It is against the forum rules to post (or show) file names of copyright protected things.:

You can use MS Paint to alter the pictire, so no names can be seen, then you can post it again.

As to your question, the number of hosts is limited depending on your connection speed T3 & T1 can get 14 hosts at a time, cable & adls up to ten (if I am not wrong), regardless of how many hosts are shown for a file.
Another limitation comes from the LW client you're using. Is it a basic version it is limited to 8 hosts (also, if I am not wrong).
