I was having the same problem a few days ago.

I constantly went www.gnufrog.com to get the best hosts.

I spent more time watching my connections come and go than d/l anything.

Then it seemed to clear up. But I had to be very very patient.
I sat and waited and waited, then all at once the hosts started to build and after about ten minutes I had 1K hosts and it was steady for at least an hour.

I've not been on LimeWire since so I don't know how it's going at the moment - but you could always try Gnufrog and write down the best ones, like I did.

Good Luck
