I have had a lot of problems keeping connections up and running for any significant amount of time ever since I upgraded to LW v1.8c (it seems everyone is having problems).

I've tried everything suggested in these forums. Most worked. However, i just stumbled on one that made the difference for me. I just lowered the amount of connections limewire keeps up from 6 to 4.

6 connections seems to be the default for a cable/DSL connection in LW v1.8c. Maybe that's too many for that speed??? who knows. All I know is that when I had LW v1.6c, 4 connections was the default and I never had any problems.

Botton line. lower the number of connections you are keeping.

good luck
