It stops spinning because it stops searching.

** Developers listen **

We should be able to set either

a) minimum number of searches returned before it gives up

or

b) minimum time it searches before giving up

or else it should be set up like other clients to search indefinitely

After all, once the search goes out, it is basically propogated .. well, not quite indefinitely .. but for a while.

Or have they reduced the TTL a lot in limewire as compared with other clients?
