If that doesn't help, post back with details of your setup.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
12. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

Try changing compatibility. Instructions here
Fixes for LimeWire

Has LW been working ok before or have you only just started using it?

Well
 

actualy it was fine! this is the first large file i have tried to download!!
I can understand the conectiong being droped, but the app, minimising and the closing is a little odd?

Done every thing sugested, may be i need another p2p :-(

Any sugestions!!??

Try disabling ultrapeer capabilities (tools > options > speed > tick Disable UP Capabilities & Apply).

I'm stabbin' in the dark here:o

Another thing you could try is installing an older Java, don't know why but this has worked for a couple of people!
