All I can say is I have used 2.4.4 Pro since it was first realeased (April ?) with no problems - I am now using the beta 2.5.2 Pro with no problem other than the usual stuff... It might be a Limewire issue but I would tend to think not... have you tried any of the other clients... I like Shareaza as a second choice... maybe you can determin by using several clients whether it is napplication / system or ISP/Net issue.

Note 2.5.2Pro Beta is available form your Limewire Pro site... look at the bottom under Beta.

Good Luck
