Hmm don't know if this is normal since I'm a really new user of LimeWire, but I just came to check the machine and when I was watching the connections screen It dumped about 20 peers and all of the leafs. The window flickered 3 0r 4 times and then it stabilized. I checked the Upload screen and all the speeds went way down (30 kb/s to 2kb/s). I wasn't downloading just sharing. No other programs running except Norton Internet Security. Now everything is back to normal. I've been connected for appx. 7 hours and 38 minutes
