1st - Hiya and Welcome !
Weirdness, hmmm ?
Thinking...
You don't have some 'cap' on your connection imposed by your Internet Service Provider, do you ? Crazy, right ?
Or, maybe you are at university and there is some new 'regime' re: usage ?
Not impossible.
Have you been using LimeWire before with no problems and this is a new problem ?
Have you installed any new software recently ?
Does your internet connection function normally with all other activities and the problem is ONLY with LimeWire ?
and, er... It will speed things up for you if you 'will in the form' for us...
