Have you tried switching off your router for a few minutes. May just be starting to freeze on you

I also checked "Event Viewer" as soon as LW disconnected it says "TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts.
" what does that mean?

Your IP address did change, but only by a single digit.
You're probably being blocked by the ISP, since you are in S.A.

As for the connection limit, download the tool from http://www.lvllord.de/ to
adjust it to whatever you want. The default choice of 50 should be enough.

When they start blocking one P2P program, try another one: http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

With this one, you go to a site like http://thepiratebay.org/ and download
torrent files, then open them with Azureus.
