The unfortunate reality is that Limewire just sucks. I've had the same experience and have spoken to many colleagues experiencing similar results or lack thereof. It's really amazing how poorly Limewire works. I use macs primarily but also have a PC running Kazaa. Kazaa is so much better than Limewire that it truly baffles me. I get excellent results from Kazaa and have gladly paid for their upgrade. The constant requests from my Limewire software to upgrade to "Pro" make me laugh.

Can a developer watching these posts shed a little light on this subject??????
