Connecting then Losing Internet connection

I've noticed that nobody seems to know why this is... I can't tell you either, but I have the same problem. But for some reason it seems to be running fine now... After I started it and disconnected right away! Now I seem to be downloading fine even though it says I'm not connected! Please someone tell me why this is all happening!?

Any reason for this?

Do you have many downloadtasks in the downloadwindow at the same time ??

That can be a reason. Limewire is trying to start them all, thus sending a lot of requests out. Your router may not be able to or is set to not handle that many connections at the same time.

If this is the reason then go to :

Tools>options>Speed and check the "Disable UltraPeer Capabilities"

Then Downloads. Set the number for simultaneous downloads low e.g. 4

Then Connections. Uncheck the box "Connect On Startup"

Press Apply then OK

Now you can connect after Limewire has loaded and it won't have as many simultaneous connections
