For leaf-ultrapeer connections LimeWire uses random ports from the higher ranges (32768 - 65535). I rather suspect that someone was downloading something from you and this took up so much of your bandwidth that you couldn't sustain your gnutella connections. - In that case going to tools->options->upload-> basic and moving the slider to the far left should help. If an ISP is blocking p2p traffic, it usually takes him only a few bytes of the message stream to identify it. So you would be disconnected in a matter of seconds. |

Some ISPs give connections to ports 8080, 80 and a couple of other ports a higher priority.
So you could fool primitive traffic shapers to give your traffic a higher priority if the remote host is listening on port 80. Many ISPs have already been using solutions like the one described in the article for a while, which allows them to give only verified web & email traffic priority. |

Changing your own port doesn't help you. You need all the other servents to change their ports to take advantage of a sloppy ISP giving priority to traffic from and to port 80. Your own outgoing connections come from random ports in the 32768-65535 range.
