In LW go tools > options > downloads. Make sure that your maximum downloads aren't set at zero.

If that's not the problem, try LOTR's advice in this thread.
What is Queued?

If you delete the preferences folder, make sure that LW's properly closed first. Remember that this will change all of your settings within LW's options...you'll have to go through & reset things afterwards. Look at points 2 & 3 in the link LOTR gives - you might have a preferences folder in either location.
And in case you're using Vista: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

Default sometimes I connect

No problem with the internet and firewall, both windows and Eastlink security have allowed Limewire. My connection bars are mostly red.

If you have a software firewall from Eastlink, turn off the Windows firewall & just double check that LW's being allowed through the Eastlink one. 2 software firewalls will conflict with each other - you only need 1.

Try the fixes in the thread below. If nothing there helps, post back with your system details.
