I don't understand why but it seems that in the last month when I open the LW icon and I start searching for a song or a movie there's a window popping up saying "Limewire is trying to connect to..." and this keeps on going on for 10 mins or so!

I'm not sure I should dowoload the new version? I was told that sometimes if you do so, all what you've downloaded get cancelled?

Pls help...
